TGF-β-dependent lymphoid tissue residency of stem-like T cells limits response to tumor vaccine
Abstract
TGF-β has been shown to regulate stem-like CD8 + T cell differentiation into tissue resident memory T cells in chronic infection. Here authors show that in tumour-bearing mice, a similar TGF-βdependent CD8 + T cell differentiation program is carried out in the draining lymph nodes, which impedes generation of anti-tumor migratory effector T cells upon future vaccination.
