Immunoglobulin-like Cell Adhesion Molecules

3.3K
Immunoglobulin-like cell adhesion molecules or Ig-CAMs are a versatile group of cell surface glycoproteins belonging to the immunoglobulin protein superfamily. Ig-CAMs possess the characteristic immunoglobulin protein domains and other domains such as the fibronectin type III domain. The Ig domains are glycosylated to varying degrees in different Ig-CAMs.
Ig-CAMs exhibit either homophilic binding (to other Ig-CAMs) or heterophilic binding (to other ligands such as integrins). While most Ig-CAMs...

B Cell Activation and Differentiation

1.8K
The adaptive immune response, a sophisticated defense mechanism, relies on the activation and differentiation of B lymphocytes, or B cells. These processes enable our bodies to mount a tailored response against specific pathogens such as bacteria, free virus particles, toxins, and parasites.
When naive B cells encounter a specific antigen that can bind to the B cell receptor (BCR) on their surface, they undergo sensitization to respond to the antigen's presence. Sensitization begins with...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Biophysics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • RBL-2H3 mast cell immunological synapse dynamics are simulated using reaction-diffusion and Fokker-Planck equations.
  • Receptor capture at the immunological synapse following an immune response is a delayed process.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the physical nature and mathematical basis of time-dependent delays in RBL-2H3 mast cell receptor capture.
  • To explore the role of cell polarization and cytoskeletal rearrangement in these capture delays.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized signal processing methods, including convolution and cross-correlation, for delay capture simulations.
  • Incorporated both cytoskeletal and diffusional components into the simulations.
  • Calculated polarizing rates to quantify the speed of cell polarization.

Main Results:

  • Simulations yielded a R-squared range of 22 to 60, showing good agreement with experimental data.
  • Identified cell polarization, associated with cytoskeletal rearrangement in RBL-2H3 mast cells, as a potential cause for capture delays.
  • Obtained a maximum polarizing rate between 0.0057 s^-2 and 0.031 s^-2.

Conclusions:

  • RBL-2H3 mast cells exhibit both temporal and spatial memory.
  • Cell polarization is potentially linked to Turing-type pattern formation in these cells.
