From Handshakes to Hugs: Embracing the Dynamics of Immunological Synapse Strength and Avidity

What is an immune synapse? An immunological (or immune) synapse is the interface between a cancer and an immune cell , which is formed in a highly stable, organized manner. The immunological synapse is composed of all intercellular interactions taking place at the interface between the interacting pair, including TCR clustering, co-receptor binding, cell-cell adhesion…

Measure interaction strength between target cell and TCR T-cell in HPV-related cancers with the z-Movi^®

In a recent review article in Immunology, Fakhr et al. presented the z-Movi® Cell Avidity Analyzer as a solution to characterize T-cell populations by measuring the binding strength between immune and cancer cells using non-invasive acoustic force. Binding events between a T-cell and its target cell determine the initiation of…
