Information transfer at the immunological synapse [PDF]
Current Biology, 2000 Antigen-specific activation of T lymphocytes requires the interaction of their clonally distributed T-cell receptors with plasma membrane ligands composed of foreign peptide antigens bound to major histocompatibility complex molecules.

Formation and function of the immunological synapse.
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2002 Less than five years ago it was reported that cell surface molecules at the contact site between CD4 T cells and antigen-presenting cells redistribute into distinct patterns, forming an organized interface termed the immunological synapse. More recently,

Comparative anatomy of phagocytic and immunological synapses [PDF]
Frontiers 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]
PLoS 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]
Immunological 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 ...

Frontiers 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 ...

Differential segregation in a cell-cell contact interface: the dynamics of the immunological synapse [PDF]
, 2002 Receptor-ligand couples in the cell-cell contact interface between a T cell and an antigen-presenting cell form distinct geometric patterns and undergo spatial rearrangement within the contact interface.

Haematologica, 2011 Background T-cell activation relies on the assembly of the immunological synapse, a structure tightly regulated by the actin cytoskeleton. The precise role of the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein, an actin cytoskeleton regulator, in linking immunological
