It has been observed that the adipocyte-derived hormone leptin could alter T cell function, resulting in improved response to anti–PD-1 therapy.12 Moreover, another preclinical study reported that white adipose tissue acts as a reservoir for a peculiar population of memory T cells, which elicit some effective responses in the case of antigenic re-exposure during infections (and why not in case of exposure to cancer-specific antigens)? The gene discussed is PDCD1; the disease is infection.
