Immuno-metabolism is well understood to influence many aspects of immune cell response as both an indicator and controller of immune cell fate, function, and fitness.
This concept is clearly illustrated in the metabolic ramping of naïve T cells to proliferate following activation signaling, and distinct metabolic phenotypes that drive effector and memory function and T cell persistence.
The new Agilent Seahorse XF Hu T Cell Activation Assay Kit is an optimized turnkey solution that detects T cell activation in minutes, providing a kinetic readout of T cell activation dynamics in real-time. This delivers a unique, early window of T cell biology, enabling researchers to quantify activation kinetics and profile modulators of T cell behavior.
