Significant heterogeneity exists within the tumor infiltrating CD8 T cell population, and exhausted T cells harbor a subpopulation that may be replicating and retain signatures of activation, with potential functional consequences in tumor progression. Dysfunctional immunity in the tumor microenvironment is associated with poor cancer outcomes, making exploration of these exhausted but activated (Tex/act) subpopulations critical to the improvement of therapeutic approaches. To investigate mechan...
