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 ...

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 ...

DISC1 is needed for the organization of cellular components at the immunological synapse. [PDF]
, 2019 T-cells carry out their immune functions through receptor-based recognition and adhesion to target cells. The cell-cell junction that is created from this connection is known as the immunological synapse (IS); a cellular structure composed of organized ...

The Immunological Synapse [PDF]
Cancer Immunology Research, 2003 AbstractThe molecular interactions underlying regulation of the immune response take place in a nanoscale gap between T cells and antigen-presenting cells, termed the immunological synapse. If these interactions are regulated appropriately, the host is defended against a wide range of pathogens and deranged host cells.

Cells, 2019 The immune system is a fundamental part of the tumor microenvironment. In particular, cytotoxic lymphocytes, such as cytolytic T cells and natural killer cells, control tumor growth and disease progression by interacting and eliminating tumor cells.

Chemokines and the immunological synapse
Immunology, 2002 The critical event which initiates an adaptive immune response is the interaction of T cells through the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) with major histocompatibility complex (MHC)–peptide (MHCp) complexes on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs).

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

The dendritic cell side of the immunological synapse
Biomolecular 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.
