Lpar5 regulates the CD8 T-cell response to persistent virus infection by altering exhaustion programming, survival, and NK receptor expression
J Immunol. 2025 Aug 29:vkaf210. doi: 10.1093/jimmun/vkaf210. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Persistent antigen exposure during chronic viral infection and tumor development drives CD8 T cells into an exhausted, hypofunctional state. Understanding the molecular pathways that enforce T-cell exhaustion is critical for improving current immunotherapies. Previously, we have shown the bioactive lipid lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) … Read more
