Genetic footprints of T cell exhaustion

Marcus Buggert, Johanna Tauriainen, Annika C. Karlsson

Abstract

In a recent publication in Science, Haining and colleagues describe for the first time the epigenetic landscape of exhausted CD8+ T cells in chronic viral infections (1). The results shed some light on how exhausted T cells could be “epigenetically” engineered in chronic viral or cancer immunotherapies.
