  "summary": "Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) eliminate infected or malignant cells through repeated target-cell encounters, yet how they sustain cytotoxic activity during extended antigenic stimulation remains poorly understood. In particular, it remains unclear whether preserved population-level killing reflects maintenance of a uniform effector phenotype or diversification into functionally distinct CTL…",
