Comments In contrast to T cell activation, T cell neglect results in a decrease in glycolysis while oxidative phosphorylation is maintained at or near the level of freshly isolated cells. This results in a relative increase in dependence on oxidative phosphorylation and represents a switch from ~2–3 nmole oxygen/nmole glucose consumed in freshly isolated T cells compared with ~4–6 nmole oxygen/nmole glucose consumed in neglected T cells.
