چکیده
T cell receptor (TCR) activation and signaling precede immunological synapse formation and are sustained for hours after initiation. However, the precise physical sites of the initial and sustained TCR signaling are not definitively known. We report here that T cell activation was initiated and sustained in TCR-containing microclusters generated at the initial contact sites and the periphery of the mature immunological synapse. Microclusters containing TCRs, the tyrosine kinase Zap70 and the adaptor molecule SLP-76 were continuously generated at the periphery. TCR microclusters migrated toward the central supramolecular cluster, whereas Zap70 and SLP-76 dissociated from these microclusters before the microclusters coalesced with the TCR-rich central supramolecular cluster. Tyrosine phosphorylation and calcium influx were induced as microclusters formed at the initial contact sites. Inhibition of signaling prevented recruitment of Zap70 into the microclusters. These results indicated that TCRrich microclusters initiate and sustain TCR signaling.

متن کاملNote on Split Domination Number of the Cartesian Product of Paths
In this note the split domination number of the Cartesian product of two paths is considered. Our results are related to [2] where the domination number of Pm¤Pn was studied. The split domination number of P2¤Pn is calculated, and we give good estimates for the split domination number of Pm¤Pn expressed in terms of its domination number.
