T-cell priming by dendritic cells in lymph nodes occurs in three distinct phases
TLDR
T-cell priming by DCs occurs in three successive stages: transient serial encounters during the first activation phase are followed by a second phase of stable contacts culminating in cytokine production, which makes a transition into a third phase of high motility and rapid proliferation.Abstract:
Primary T-cell responses in lymph nodes (LNs) require contact-dependent information exchange between T cells and dendritic cells (DCs). Because lymphocytes continually enter and leave normal LNs, the resident lymphocyte pool is composed of non-synchronized cells with different dwell times that display heterogeneous behaviour in mouse LNs in vitro. Here we employ two-photon microscopy in vivo to study antigen-presenting DCs and naive T cells whose dwell time in LNs was synchronized. During the first 8 h after entering from the blood, T cells underwent multiple short encounters with DCs, progressively decreased their motility, and upregulated activation markers. During the subsequent 12 h T cells formed long-lasting stable conjugates with DCs and began to secrete interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma. On the second day, coinciding with the onset of proliferation, T cells resumed their rapid migration and short DC contacts. Thus, T-cell priming by DCs occurs in three successive stages: transient serial encounters during the first activation phase are followed by a second phase of stable contacts culminating in cytokine production, which makes a transition into a third phase of high motility and rapid proliferation.read more

TL;DR: It is shown that mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin, also known as FRAP1) is a major regulator of memory CD8 T-cell differentiation, and in contrast to what was expected, the immunosuppressive drug Rapamycin has immunostimulatory effects on the generation of memoryCD8 T cells.

TL;DR: It is shown here that functional integrins do not contribute to migration in three-dimensional environments, and these cells migrate by the sole force of actin-network expansion, which promotes protrusive flowing of the leading edge.

TL;DR: Measurements of trajectories of individual proteins or lipids in the plasma membrane of cells show a variety of types of motion, including directed motion, confined motion, and anomalous diffusion, which requires a revision of existing views of membrane structure and dynamics.
