Altered T Follicular Helper Cell Subsets and Function in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Altered T Follicular Helper Cell Subsets and Function in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Follicular helper T cells (TFH) have specialized properties in promoting normal B cell activation but their role in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is unknown. We find that TFH cells are elevated in CLL patients and are phenotypically abnormal, expressing higher levels of PD-1, TIGIT, CD40L, IFNγ...
