Cbx3/HP1γ is a histone reader whose function in the immune system is not completely understood. Here, we demonstrate that in CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells, Cbx3/HP1γ insufficiency leads to chromatin remodeling accompanied by enhanced Prf1, Gzmb and Ifng expression. In tumors obtained from Cbx3/HP1γ-insufficient mice or wild type mice treated with Cbx3/HP1γ-insufficient CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells, there is an increase of CD8<sup>+</sup> effector T cells expressing the stimulatory receptor Klrk1/NKG2D, a d ...[more]
