Human breast tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells retain polyfunctionality despite PD-1 expression

Expression of the checkpoint molecule programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is considered a marker of T cells exhaustion. Here the authors show that CD8T cells isolated from breast cancer patients are perfectly functional despite PD-1 expression while those isolated from melanoma patients are not.
