Implication
Analysis of single-cell multiomics data shows overlapping regulatory programs in CD4 and CD8 T cells during viral infection, indicating shared mechanisms in immunity.
Key Points
- Shared regulatory programs dictate essential immune functions across CD4 and CD8 T cells during viral infection.
- The analysis integrated single-cell multiomic data with bulk ATAC-seq data, revealing distinct transcription factors that govern T cell identity.
- Tcf1+ CD8 T cells exhibited unexpected combinatorial regulatory states, contributing to sustained CD8 T cell responses in various infections.
- This research contributes a valuable resource for understanding adaptive immunity and designing immunotherapies.
