Abstract excerpt
The exact function of TCR clustering and organized macromolecular patterns at the immune synapse between APCs and T lymphocytes is unclear. Using human immature or mature dendritic cells (DCs) and autologous CD4(+) effector T cells, we demonstrate that, within a given conjugate, mature DCs induce...
