ASH 2023 | The mechanism of treatment resistance in AML: do CD8-expressing T-cells become exhausted?

Hussein Abbas, MD, PhD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, discusses a study that uses CD8 profiling to investigate if a CD8-exhausted phenotype in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) could be an explanation for treatment resistance. The study reveals that CD8-expressing T-cells do not show signs of being exhausted, but there are other dysfunctional signatures that are upregulated and persist after chemotherapy, contributing to treatment resistance. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
