Targeting p53 and histone methyltransferases restores exhausted CD8+ T cells in HCV infection

Here, the authors report that exhausted HCV-specific CD8+ T cells are marked by upregulation of p53 signaling already detectable in an early phase of chronic HCV infection and by a later development of a repressive chromatin state, and show that chemical targeting of these pathways improves CD8+ T c...
