HIV-1 intersection with CD4 T cell vesicle exocytosis: intercellular communication goes viral
Frontiers in Immunology, 2014 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 ...

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. For proliferation and differentiation to ensue, a variety of other adhesive and accessory proteins must also interact ...

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

T-Cell activation: a queuing theory analysis at low agonist density [PDF]
, 2006 We analyze a simple linear triggering model of the T-cell receptor (TCR) within the framework of queuing theory, in which TCRs enter the queue upon full activation and exit by downregulation.

Actin Engine in Immunological Synapse [PDF]
Immune Network, 2012 T cell activation and function require physical contact with antigen presenting cells at a specialized junctional structure known as the immunological synapse. Once formed, the immunological synapse leads to sustained T cell receptor-mediated signalling and stabilized adhesion.

Spatial Organization of the Cytoskeleton enhances Cargo Delivery to Specific Target Areas on the Plasma Membrane of Spherical Cells [PDF]
, 2016 Intracellular transport is vital for the proper functioning and survival of a cell. Cargo (proteins, vesicles, organelles, etc.) is transferred from its place of creation to its target locations via molecular motor assisted transport along cytoskeletal ...

An Effective Membrane Model of the Immunological Synapse
, 2003 The immunological synapse is a patterned collection of different types of receptors and ligands that forms in the intercellular junction between T Cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs) during recognition.

Orchestration of Immunological Synapse Assembly by Vesicular Trafficking
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019 Ligation of the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) by cognate peptide bound to the Major Histocompatibility Complex on the surface of an antigen-presenting cell (APC) leads to the spatial reorganization of the TCR and accessory receptors to form a specialized

The immune synapses reveal aberrant functions of CD8 T cells during chronic HIV infection
Nature Communications, 2022 HIV infection over time is thought to result in premature aging and aberrant immune responses including the induction of immunological senescence. Here the authors show altered formation of immune synapses by naive CD8+ T cells and dysregulated synapse ...
