White adipose tissue (WAT) is exposed to pathogens that breach epithelial barriers, but the role of adipose T cells in immunity isn’t clear. In this issue of Immunity, Han et al. (2017) find that WAT harbors a reservoir of memory T cells that provide antimicrobial immunity at the expense of lipid synthesis and metabolism.

瘦脂肪脂肪细胞

白色脂肪组织（WAT）暴露于破坏上皮屏障的病原体，但尚不清楚脂肪T细胞在免疫中的作用。在《免疫》一期中，Han等人。（2017）发现WAT拥有记忆T细胞库，可提供抗微生物免疫力，但以脂质合成和新陈代谢为代价。
