Descriptor English: Immunological Synapses
Descriptor Spanish: Sinapsis Inmunológicas
Descriptor sinapsis inmunitarias
Scope note: Interfaces entre CÉLULAS T y CÉLULAS PRESENTADORAS DE ANTÍGENO. La organización supramolecular de las proteínas se efectúa en estas sinapsis en las que están involucrados diferentes tipos de células. Las sinapsis inmunológicas pueden tener diversas funciones como la ACTIVACIÓN LINFOCITARIA, la potenciación, el equilibrado o la finalización de la señalización, o la dirección de la secreción de citocinas.
