Differential Roles for Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Protein in Immune Synapse Formation and IL-2 Production
1 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP)-deficient T cells exhibit defects in IL-2 production that are widely believed to stem from primary defects in actin remodeling and immune synapse formation. Surprisingly, however, we find that WASP-deficient T cells responding to Ag-specific APCs polymerize actin and organize talin and PKC theta normally, forming an immune synapse that is stable for at least 3 h. At low...
