Lytic Immune Synapse Function Requires Filamentous Actin Deconstruction by Coronin 1A
Natural killer (NK) cells are cytolytic effector cells of the innate immune system. Here, we show that deconstruction of synaptic cortical filamentous (F)-actin by Coronin 1A (Coro1A) is required for…Read articleVisualization of the Immunological Synapse by Dual Color Time-gated Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) Nanoscopy
Here we illustrate the protocol for imaging by two-color STED nanoscopy the cytotoxic immune synapse of NK cells recapitulated on glass. Using this method we obtain sub-100 nm resolution of synapse…Read articleVisualization of the Natural Killer Cell Immune Synapse by Super-Resolution Nanoscopy
Natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune effectors that recognize and kill virally infected and tumorigenic cells. Central to their effector function is the formation of an immunological synapse…Read article
