Popis: The nature of the epitopes recognized by tumor-infiltrating T cells is not clearly defined. In this issue of Immunity, Cheng et al. demonstrate that tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells specific for hepatitis B virus-derived antigens exhibit potent anti-tumor properties and correlate with relapse-free survival in patients with resected hepatocellular carcinoma.
