Abstract:
Metabolic reprogramming is increasingly recognized as a fundamental aspect of T cell activation, influencing the differentiation, proliferation, and effector functions of lymphocytes. Measuring and screening the metabolic states of activated T cells provide insights into the dynamic interplay between cellular metabolism and immune function. In the following chapter, we provide a simple protocol based on the publication of Argüello et al. [1] to analyze the metabolic state of activated T cells at the single-cell level using standard flow cytometry.
