Deskripsi

Identifying and enumerating tumor-specific CD8 T cells are important for assessing cancer prognosis and therapy efficacy. Here the authors show that CD39 and CD103 mark a subset of tumor-infiltrating CD8 T cells that are tumor-reactive and exhibit characteristics of exhausted or tissue-resident memory T cells.
