Control of lymphocyte fate, infection, and tumor immunity by TCF-1
T cell factor-1 (TCF-1), encoded by Tcf7, is a transcription factor and histone deacetylase
(HDAC) essential for commitment to both the T cell and the innate lymphoid cell (ILC)
lineages in mammals. In this review, we discuss the multifunctional role of TCF-1 in
establishing these lineages and the requirement for TCF-1 throughout lineage differentiation
and maintenance of lineage stability. We highlight recent reports showing promise for TCF-1
as a novel biomarker to identify recently characterized subsets of exhausted CD8+ T cells …
