Chronic antigen stimulation is thought to generate dysfunctional CD8 T cells. Here, we identify a cell subset in the bone marrow tumor microenvironment that, despite an apparent terminally exhausted phenotype (T PHEX ), expressed granzymes, perforin, and IFN-γ. Concurrent gene expression DNA accessibility revealed that genes encoding these functional proteins correlated with BATF motif accessibility. IFN-γ + effectively killed myeloma comparable efficacy transitory effectors, disease...
