Oral immunotherapy (OIT) clinical trials have helped a subset of participants achieve sustained unresponsiveness (SU) to the cognate allergen. Here the authors analyse immune cells from participants from one peanut OIT trial and show that CD8+ T cell differentiation status at baseline may help to predict the likelihood of achieving SU.
