RhoH regulates subcellular localization of ZAP-70 and Lck in T cell receptor signaling. [PDF]
RhoH is an hematopoietic-specific, GTPase-deficient Rho GTPase that plays a role in T development. We investigated the mechanisms of RhoH function in TCR signaling. We found that the association between Lck and CD3ζ was impaired in RhoH-deficient T cells,

The role of the cytoskeleton at the immunological synapse [PDF]
SummaryIt has been over 30 years since the reorganization of both the microtubule network and a ‘peculiar actin polarization’ was reported at the contact area of cytotoxic T lymphocytes interacting with target cells. Since that time, hundreds of studies have been published in an effort to elucidate the structure and function of the microtubule network ...

Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy/American Epilepsy Society (ILAE/AES) Joint Translational Task Force initiated the TASK3 working group to create common data elements (CDEs) for various aspects of preclinical epilepsy research studies, which could help improve the standardization of experimental designs.

In vitro Assessment of Immunological Synapse Formation by Flow Cytometry
In adaptive immune system, formation of immunological synapse between T cells and antigen presenting cells (dendritic cells, B cells, and macrophages) or target cells (tumor cells and viral-infected cells) is critical for the execution of T cell immune ...

Immunological Synapse in the Biology of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia [PDF]
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a lymphoproliferative disease manifested by accumulation of tumor B-cells with characteristic immunophenotype (CD19+CD5+CD23+) in bone marrow, peripheral blood and secondary lymphoid organs.

Stochastic model of T Cell repolarization during target elimination (II) [PDF]
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (T cells) and natural killer cells form a tight contact, the immunological synapse (IS), with target cells, where they release their lytic granules containing perforin/granzyme and cytokine containing vesicles. During this process the cell repolarizes and moves the microtubule organizing center (MTOC) towards the IS.

What is the importance of the immunological synapse? [PDF]
The immunological synapse (IS) has proved to be a stimulating concept, particularly in provoking discussion on the similarity of intercellular communication controlling disparate biological processes. Recent studies have clarified some of the underlying molecular mechanisms and functions of the IS.

HIV-1 intersection with CD4 T cell vesicle exocytosis: intercellular communication goes viral
In cells of the immune system the secretion of extracellular vesicles is modulated through cellular activation. In particular, T cell activation is achieved through cell-cell contacts with antigen presenting cells and the consequent formation of a ...

Communication, the centrosome and the immunological synapse [PDF]
Recent findings on the behaviour of the centrosome at the immunological synapse suggest a critical role for centrosome polarization in controlling the communication between immune cells required to generate an effective immune response. The features observed at the immunological synapse show parallels to centrosome (basal body) polarization seen in ...

Circadian modulation of microglial physiological processes and immune responses
Main Points Microglia are rhythmic cells with an oscillatory expression in clock genes, cytokines, and other microglial markers. Microglial circadian rhythms determine their physiological function and immune responses. Abstract Microglia is considered the central nervous system (CNS) resident macrophages that establish an innate immune response against
