Phenotypic T cell exhaustion in a murine model of bacterial infection in the setting of pre-existing malignancy.

While much of cancer immunology research has focused on anti-tumor immunity both systemically and within the tumor microenvironment, little is known about the impact of pre-existing malignancy on pathogen-specific immune responses. Here, we sought to characterize the antigen-specific CD8+ T cell res...
