Abstract

Chronic viral infection induces exhaustion of antigen-specific T cells. Hudson and colleagues define a transitory, effector-like population of CD8+ T cells that are recently generated from stem-like CD8+ T cells in chronic infection. These transitory cells contribute to viral control and are increased in number following PD-1 pathway blockade.
