Virus-specific memory T cells populate tumors and can be repurposed for tumor immunotherapy

The immunosuppressive tumor environment and the lack of functional anti-tumor immunity are major limiting factors in immunotherapy. Here the authors show that human and mouse tumors are infiltrated by virus-specific memory T cells, which can be harnessed by viral peptides to induce local and systemi...
