Abstract excerpt
T cell activation after contact with an antigen-presenting cell depends on the regulated assembly of the T cell receptor signaling complex, which involves the polarized assembly of a stable, raft-like macrodomain surrounding engaged T cell receptors. Here we show that the preformed reggie/flotillin caps present in resting T cells act as priming platforms for macrodomain assembly. Preformed reggie-1/flotillin-2...
