Abstract:

Adaptive immune responses require dynamic cellular reconfigurations as antigen-specific lymphocytes proliferate, acquire effector functions and generate immunological memory. Several metabolic pathways are co-opted during this process, but specific metabolites identified as important substrates are rarely systemically limiting. Iron deficiency affects a billion people worldwide and a mutation in transferrin receptor that disrupts the ability of lymphocytes to acquire iron causes immunodefi...
