In the immune system, Nrn1 expression has been found in FOXP3+ Treg and follicular regulatory T cells (Tfr; Gonzalez-Figueroa et al., 2021; Vahl et al., 2014), T cells from transplant tolerant recipients (Lim et al., 2013), anergized CD8 cells or CD8 cells from tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in mouse tumor models (Schietinger et al., 2012; Schietinger et al., 2016; Singer et al., 2016), and in human Treg infiltrating breast cancer tumor tissue (Plitas et al., 2016). Here, CD8A is linked to neoplasm.
