Showing the diagrammatic representation of metabolic switch in different stages of T cells. Naïve T cells (TN) are predominantly depending on the OXPHOS for the energy needs. The proliferative T cells (TEFF) shifts to aerobic glycolysis to support their high energy demand. The memory T cells (TM) use OXPHOS pathway for their metabolic requirement [32].
