In chronic viral infections, sustained CD8+ T cell response relies on TCF1+ precursor-exhausted cells (TPEX) exhibiting stem-like properties. TPEX self-renew and respond to PD-1 blockade, underscoring their paramount importance. However, strategies for effectively augmenting remain limited. Here, we demonstrate that ZC3H12A deficiency initiates a stemness program in but also increases death, whereas BCOR predominantly promotes proliferation. Consequently, co-targeting of both imparts...
