Human NK Cell Development Requires CD56-mediated Motility and Formation of the Developmental Synapse
While distinct stages of natural killer (NK) cell development have been defined, the molecular interactions that shape human NK cell maturation are poorly understood. Here we define intercellular…Read articleLytic 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 article
