Interestingly, DoRothEA analysis predicted that the TF Zeb2, known to promote the function of long-lived effector cells (LLECs) and effector memory CD8 T cells in acute viral infection (Renkema et al, 2020), is active in splenic effector memory, AY036118+, and Cx3cr1+ effector cells. This evidence concerns the gene TF and viral infectious disease.
