Innate-like T cells: A promising asset in anti-cancer immunity

Cancer Cell. 2022 Jul 11;40(7):714-716. doi: 10.1016/j.ccell.2022.05.017. Epub 2022 Jun 16.

Abstract

In Nature, Chou et al. identify a subset of innate-like αβ T cells with high cytotoxic potential that accumulate in tumors and elicit an anti-tumor response. Given their capacity to maintain an activation state without undergoing exhaustion, these innate-like T cells may represent effective therapeutic agents for cell-based approaches.
