We also reanalyzed bulk RNA-seq data from the thymic precursors of the innate-like αβT-IEL found in breast cancer 46 and found that the RePreSS gene signature was already differentially expressed in these post-selection thymic progenitors of breast innate-like αβT cells, when compared to CD8 SP (Fig. 6f). This evidence concerns the gene CD8A and breast carcinoma.
