Lymphopenia drives T cell exhaustion in immunodeficient STING gain-of-function mice

Damien Freytag, Stéphane Giorgiutti, Grégoire Hopsomer…·Pauline Soulas-Sprauel

This study identifies T cell exhaustion in STING GOF mice as driven by lymphopenia, independent of type I interferons and intrinsic STING activation.
