Antigen-driven EGR2 expression is required for exhausted CD8+ T cell stability and maintenance

Exhausted T cells arise when chronic activation triggers functional defects. Here the authors show that chronic antigenic stimulation in both tumour and infection models induces the expression of EGR2, which drives and stabilises exhausted cell epigenetic and transcriptional identity.
