Fatty Acid Uptake in T Cell Subsets Using a Quantum Dot Fatty Acid Conjugate
Abstract Fatty acid (FA) metabolism directly influences the functional capabilities of T cells in tumor microenvironments. Thus, developing tools to interrogate FA-uptake by T cell subsets is important for understanding tumor immunosuppression. Herein, we have generated a novel FA-Qdot 605 dye conju...
