Audun Kvalvaag: Clathrin mediates bidirectional membrane transfer during T cell activation

Abstract: T cell activation is initiated upon T cell receptor (TCR) binding to cognate peptide-MHC complexes on the surface of antigen presenting cells (APCs). This initiates the formation of the immunological synapse – a specialized hub for bidirectional membrane transfer between T cells and APCs which is essential for processes such as downregulation of triggered TCR and T cell-mediated stimulation of B cells. Here, I will present some recent advancements in our understanding of how this is regulated.
