Identifying signals that govern the differentiation of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells (CD8+ TILs) toward exhaustion can improve current therapeutic approaches for cancer. Here, we show type I interferons (IFN-Is) act as environmental cues, enhancing terminal cell in tumors. We find enrichment IFN-I-stimulated genes (ISGs) within exhausted (Tex cells) patients across various cancer types, with heightened ISG levels correlating poor response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy.
