Merged summary

TL;DR - A Nature study finds that tertiary lymphoid structures in renal cell carcinoma harbour tumour-specific CD8+ T-cell clonotypes with stem-like progenitor traits. These structures may help preserve less terminally exhausted immune cells within tumours.

  • TLS-containing tumours are enriched for exhausted CD8+ T cells.
  • The enriched population includes tumour-specific T-cell clonotypes.
  • Some clonotypes show stem-like progenitor features and reduced terminal exhaustion.
  • The findings clarify how TLSs may support antitumour immune responses.
