S961 TFA purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Nature. 2026 Jun;654(8120):1065-1075. [Abstract]
Panc02, a murine pancreatic cancer cell line was used as positive control for staining Insr. Mice were injected with Insr blocking chemical S961 (1 mg/kg; i.p.) during fasting/fed period. OCR and ECAR were measured of ex vivo CD8+ T cells purified from pool of respective group. OCR and ECAR associated parameters were calculated (right) (n = 3 wells). The results showed that blocking insulin receptors (using S961) did not show significant changes in vivo under fasting and full conditions, indicating that the insulin signaling pathway is not essential for the postprandial benefits observed in T cells.
