However, more recent results described that, at early stages of tumor development, tumor-induced IFNγ-producing KIR+ CD25+ CD127− FOXP3− CD8+ T cells can potentiate immune surveillance by targeting human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-E-restricted CD4+ regulatory T cells (Treg) while leaving the effector T cell population unaffected [15]. The gene discussed is KIR3DL1; the disease is neoplasm.
