T cells need glutathione to grow and low glutathione can make these immune system cells less effective
Each coverslip was washed three times with PBS, blocked with blocking solution (1x PBS, 10 % normal goat serum (NGS) and 0.3 % Triton X-100) for 30 min at RT and incubated with primary antibodies (anti-GFP (rabbit polyclonal, used at 1:1000 in IF, Abcam, Cat# ab6556, RRID:AB_305564), anti vGLUT1 (guinea pig polyclonal, used at 1:500 in IF, Synaptic Systems, Cat# 135 304, RRID:AB_887878)) diluted in blocking solution for 2 h at RT
Biologics [e.g., TNF- inhibitors (etanercept), IL-6R blockers (tocilizumab)]: Effective in 60 - 70% of patients but incur prohibitive costs ($20,000 - 50,000 annually), limiting accessibility (only 10 - 20% treated in low-resource settings) (5, 6)
