homeostasis/metabolism
• synthesis of C16:0 and C18:1 fatty acids by Listeria infected T cells is reduced relative to controls
• total quantities of C16:0, C18:0, and C18:1 are not significantly changed 24 hours after activation with Listeria

immune system
N |
• thymocyte T cell profiles are normal
• peripheral B cell numbers are normal
|
• CD8+ T cells in spleen and peripheral lymph nodes are dramatically reduced
• significant reductions in CD4+ T cells are also observed
|
• reduced activated memory T cell numbers
|
• reduced survival of peripheral CD8+ T cells
• supplementation of cultured cells with exogenous fatty acids improves survival
