Simultaneous TCR and IL-2 agonism selectively enhances epitope-specific CD8 T cell responses during chronic viral infection

Masao Hashimoto, Mohammad Affan Khan, Akil Akhtar…·Rafi Ahmed

This study shows that targeting IL-2 to antigen-specific CD8 T cells enhances their responses during chronic viral infection while sparing non-targeted populations, and combining this with PD-1 blockade further improves outcomes.
