Topological and Structural Plasticity of the Single Ig Fold and the Double Ig Fold Present in CD19
The Ig fold has had a remarkable success in vertebrate evolution, with a presence in over 2% of human genes. The Ig fold is not just the elementary structural domain of antibodies and TCRs, it is also at the heart of a staggering 30% of immunologic cell ...

The trafficking and targeting of P2X receptors [PDF]
The functional expression of P2X receptors at the plasma membrane is dependent on their trafficking along secretory and endocytic pathways. There are seven P2X receptor subunits, and these differ in their subcellular distributions because they have very ...

Cell-surface translational dynamics of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
Synapse efficacy heavily relies on the number of neurotransmitter receptors available at a given time. In addition to the equilibrium between the biosynthetic production, exocytic delivery and recycling of receptors on the one hand, and the endocytic ...

Regulation of NKG2D-Dependent NK Cell Functions: The Yin and the Yang of Receptor Endocytosis. [PDF]
Natural-killer receptor group 2, member D (NKG2D) is a well characterized natural killer (NK) cell activating receptor that recognizes several ligands poorly expressed on healthy cells but up-regulated upon stressing stimuli in the context of cancer or ...

New immunolatex spheres: visual markers of antigens on lymphocytes for scanning electron microscopy [PDF]
New immunochemical reagents consisting of antibodies bound to small latex spheres were used as visual markers for the detection and localization of cell surface antigens by scanning electron microscopy.

Molecular recognition of paired receptors in the immune system
Cell surface receptors are responsible for regulating cellular function on the front line, the cell membrane. Interestingly, accumulating evidence clearly reveals that the members of cell surface receptor families have very similar extracellular ligand ...

Selective inhibition of T suppressor-cell function by a monosaccharide [PDF]
Interactions between regulatory T lymphocytes and other cells are assumed to occur at the level of the cell surface. T cells which suppress the generation of specifically effector cells have been described as having antigenic, idiotypic, allotypic and I ...

Anterograde Trafficking of CXCR4 and CCR2 Receptors in a Prostate Cancer Cell Line
Background: Most prostate cancer-related deaths result from metastasis. CXCR4 and CCR2 are known to govern cellular processes resulting in cell migration, proliferation and survival.
