We report that in addition to attracting CXCR3+ T cells to tumor sites a key role of CXCL9 and CXCL10 is in inducing a self-feeding feedback loop that accelerates effector/cytotoxic activities of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells while downregulating immunoregulatory protein TIM3. The gene discussed is CXCR3; the disease is neoplasm.
