Stat5a sobers up inTOXicated T cells

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debate

Abstract

Exhausted T cells are largely hampered by epigenetically enforced mechanisms that limit their effector potential. In this issue of Immunity, Beltra et al. found that Stat5 can alter these epigenetic profiles when T cells transition from the Tpex precursor stage into differentiated cells. At this stage, enforced Stat5 expression increases the number of intermediate exhausted T cells and induces durable effector cells with superior anti-tumor activity.
