An immune response starts with activation of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR). How T cell receptor signalling begins, however, is not well understood. We have developed a novel imaging approach that allows us to directly observe what happens after an antigen binds to the receptor. The research will provide mechanistic insights into how T cells sense and discriminate antigens. This knowledge will aid the development of cancer immunotherapies and vaccines.

免疫反应始于T细胞抗原受体(TCR)的激活。然而，T细胞受体信号是如何开始的还不是很清楚。我们开发了一种新的成像方法，使我们能够直接观察抗原与受体结合后发生的情况。这项研究将为T细胞如何感知和识别抗原提供机械性的见解。这些知识将有助于癌症免疫疗法和疫苗的发展。
