Transcription factor 7 (T-cell specific, HMG-box) (TCF7) is expressed in naive and memory T cells, playing a crucial role in T cell differentiation and maintenance. TCF7+ stem-like CD8+ T cells (CD8+ SL) are vital for sustaining T cell populations during chronic antigen exposure. The immune response to chronic viral infections is sustained by memory-like CD8(+) T cells that express Transcription factor 7 (T-cell specific, HMG-box) (TCF7).

These cells can differentiate into cytolytic cells lack…
