Salk Institute researchers have just given us all a new view of immune cells using super-resolution microscopy. The images above show T-Cell receptors during an immune response, and are the first pictures to show this process in lymph nodes. Every new image and discovery in this field gets us closer to a more total understanding how our body’s immune system works, and perhaps how to apply our own immunities to treat autoimmune diseases, infections or cancer.
“We had seen these receptors cluster and reposition in cultured cells that were artificially stimulated in the lab, but we’ve never seen their natural arrangements in lymph nodes until now,” says senior author Björn Lillemeier, an associate professor in Salk’s Nomis Laboratories for Immunobiology and Microbial Pathogenesis, and the Waitt Advanced Biophotonics Center.
