Supported Planar Bilayers for the Formation of Study of Immunological Synapses and Kinapse
September 15th, 2008
•Supported planar bilayers are powerful tools that can be used to model the molecular interactions in an immunological synapse. Here, we show methods for anchoring cell adhesion proteins known to modulate synapse formation to the upper leaflet of the lipid bilyer and visualize synapse formation using TIRF microscopy.
