The dendritic cell side of the immunological synapse

open access: yesBiomolecular Concepts, 2016
Immune responses are initiated by the interactions between antigen-presenting cells (APCs), such as dendritic cells (DCs), with responder cells, such as T cells, via a tight cellular contact interface called the immunological synapse.

CD28 and chemokine receptors: Signalling amplifiers at the immunological synapse [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
T cells are master regulators of the immune response tuning, among others, B cells, macrophages and NK cells. To exert their functions requiring high sensibility and specificity, T cells need to integrate different stimuli from the surrounding ...

HIV-1 Virological Synapse is not Simply a Copycat of the Immunological Synapse

open access: yesViruses, 2010
The virological synapse (VS) is a tight adhesive junction between an HIV-infected cell and an uninfected target cell, across which virus can be efficiently transferred from cell to cell in the absence of cell-cell fusion.

Kv1.3 palmitoylation regulates spatial distribution and channel removal from the immunological synapse [PDF]

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Life Sciences
Kv1.3 is the main voltage-gated potassium channel in T cells. At the immunological synapse (IS), it sustains Ca2⁺ signaling and facilitates T cell activation.

Comparative anatomy of phagocytic and immunological synapses [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2016
The generation of phagocytic cups and immunological synapses are crucial events of the innate and adaptive immune responses, respectively. They are triggered by distinct immune receptors and performed by different cell types.

Despite disorganized synapse structure, Th2 cells maintain directional delivery of CD40L to antigen-presenting B cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Upon recognition of peptide displayed on MHC molecules, Th1 and Th2 cells form distinct immunological synapse structures. Th1 cells have a bull's eye synapse structure with TCR/ MHC-peptide interactions occurring central to a ring of adhesion molecules ...

Cytotoxic immunological synapses [PDF]

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, 2010
Summary:  One of the most fundamental activities of the adaptive immune system is to kill infected cells and tumor cells. Two distinct pathways mediate this process, both of which are facilitated by a cytotoxic immunological synapse. While traditionally thought of as innate immune cells, natural killer (NK) cells are now appreciated to have the ...

The Role of the Cytoskeleton in Regulating the Natural Killer Cell Immune Response in Health and Disease: From Signaling Dynamics to Function

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphoid cells, which play key roles in elimination of virally infected and malignant cells. The balance between activating and inhibitory signals derived from NK surface receptors govern the NK cell immune response ...

Cross-Activation of Hemichannels/Gap Junctions and Immunoglobulin-Like Domains in Innate–Adaptive Immune Responses

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Hemichannels (HCs)/gap junctions (GJs) and immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain-containing proteins (IGLDCPs) are involved in the innate–adaptive immune response independently.
