Marker genes
GNLY, IL7R
Annotation genes
GNLY, IL7R
Annotation rationales
GNLY indicates early cytotoxic bias; IL7R retention preserves survival and proliferative potential—an early/poised state rather than terminal effector.
Functional implications
Deliver fast, moderate cytotoxicity while maintaining capacity for expansion and further differentiation upon persistent cues.
