Deficiency of T‐bet, Eomes, or IFN‐γ in NK cells attenuates the antitumor function of CD8⁺ T cells. A) MC38 tumor growth in CD8⁺ cell‐depleted or control Tbx21 ^{WT/ WT} mice or Tbx21 ^ΔNK/ΔNK mice. B) MC38 tumor growth in CD8⁺ cell‐depleted or control Eomes ^{WT/ WT} mice or Eomes ^ΔNK/ΔNK mice. C) MC38 tumor growth in CD8⁺ cell‐depleted or control Ifng ^{WT/ WT} mice or Ifng ^ΔNK/ΔNK mice. A–C) Data are mean values ± SEM representative of two independent experiments (n = 6). **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 (two‐way ANOVA).
