This is a thread on our paper by Eric Fagerberg .

KLF2 maintains lineage fidelity and suppresses CD8 T cell exhaustion during acute LCMV infection

science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
www.science.org KLF2 maintains lineage fidelity and suppresses CD8 T cell exhaustion during acute LCMV infection Naïve CD8 T cells have the potential to differentiate into a spectrum of functional states during an immune response. How these developmental decisions are made and what mechanisms exist to suppress...

An interesting target, but we think it will be insufficient without other factors like Tbet and Zeb2. Experiments are ongoing to test these ideas.

Lastly I want to thank a few people who helped in the process. @sarah_h_ross who handled our paper and especially our collaborators

Doing research is a lot like baking. Sometimes the written protocol is not always enough for replication. You often need to understand the subtle differences that underlie success, and the operator might even realize. Communication is key.

We posted this preprint to @biorxiv_immuno that focuses on the idea that CD8 T cells can naturally survey and eliminate stem-cells in the colon epithelium that have neoantigens that are created by somatic mutation.

This work was spearheaded by Jess Buck in the lab!
