Cell surface Glut1 levels distinguish human CD4 and CD8 T lymphocyte subsets with distinct effector functions
CD4 and CD8 T lymphocyte activation requires the generation of sufficient energy to support new biosynthetic demands. Following T cell receptor (TCR) engagement, these requirements are met by an increased glycolysis, due, at least in part, to induction of the Glut1 glucose transporter. As Glut1 is u...
