Long-term T cell fitness and proliferation is driven by AMPK-dependent regulation of reactive oxygen species

Abstract The AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) is a major energy sensor metabolic enzyme that is activated early during T cell immune responses but its role in the generation of effector T cells is still controversial. Using both in vitro and in vivo models of T cell proliferation, we show herein that AMP...
