However, prolonged antigen exposure can lead to overstimulation, which causes T cell exhaustion. In this state, T cells have fully or partially decreased functional capability and can even be ...

Persistent antigen stimulation, as observed in cancer and chronic infections, leads to T cell exhaustion (TEX), a state of impaired effector functions. Typically, TEX has been characterized by ...
