PROTEINS (yellow) cluster at the point where two immune cells meet to trade information. The proteins at this synapse tell a natural killer cell (bottom left) that the B cell (right) is healthy and should be spared. For other cells that fail this test, the natural killer cell has acidic organelles (red) ready to move toward the synapse and deliver a lethal injection.
