Like much of Dr. Xue’s other work, the latest paper focuses on CD8+ T cells ... these effector cells eventually enter a state of Exhaustion” which makes them less and less effective.

Their study demonstrated that prolonged antigen stimulation in vitro caused upregulation of key exhaustion markers—PD-1, LAG-3, TIM-3, TIGIT, and CD39—on both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. These markers were ...

it is an important transcription factor that regulates CD8+ T cell activation and exhaustion. The current study explored the roles of ACSS2 and ACLY in TEX cell formation during chronic LCMV ...

“When we looked at all of the differences [compared to normal functioning], they really pointed us towards an exhaustion-like state for the CD8+ T cells,” Grimson said. Meanwhile, in Hanson’s lab, ...

If CD8+ T cell exhaustion can be reversed, the next question is whether such reversal actually benefits a patient, as exhaustion can have protective qualities.
