In addition to a shared lineage CD8+ T cell-defining signature and a memory T cell signature, TRM cells need to acquire a transcriptional residency signature. Long term survival and function within the tissue are mediated by tissue-specific adaptations of TRM cells that allow them to optimally acclimatize to their tissue of residence. These tissue-specific adaptations can be shared across multiple cell types.
