Targeting Cellular Mechanisms May Improve Immune Response in Chronic Infections - News Center

During viral infection and in the case of cancer, CD4+ helper T-cells release cytokines, or small signaling proteins, that activate and "give permission" to other immune cells to control and clear viral pathogens. In certain viral infections, such as lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), which is spread by infected rodents, CD4+ T-cells differentiate into different subpopulations, including one subset of progenitor CD4+ T-cells that replenish type 1 helper (Th1) and follicular helper (Tfh) T-cells.

Proteotoxic stress response drives T cell exhaustion and immune evasion - Nature

Proteomic profiling of exhausted T cells reveals pathway-specific transcript–protein discordance and identifies T cell–exhaustion-specific protein-level regulatory mechanisms.
