In immunology, an immunological synapse (or immune synapse) is the interface between an antigen-presenting cell or target cell and a lymphocyte such as an effector T cell or Natural Killer cell.^[1] It is the subject of much ongoing research.

Structure and Function

The immune synapse is also known as the supramolecular adhesion complex or SMAC.^[2] This structure is composed of concentric rings each containing segregated clusters of proteins:

c-SMAC (central-SMAC) composed of θ isoform of protein kinase C,^[3] CD2, CD4, CD8, CD28, Lck, and Fyn.^[4]
p-SMAC (peripheral-SMAC) in the lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) and the cytoskeletal protein talin are clustered.^[2]
d-SMAC (distal-SMAC) enriched in CD43 and CD45 molecules.^[5]^[6]

This complex as a whole is postulated to have several functions including but not limited to:

Regulation of lymphocyte activation^[7]

Transfer of peptide-MHC complexes from APCs to lymphocytes^[7]

Direct secretion of cytokines or lytic granules^[7]

History

It was first discovered by Abraham Kupfer at the National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver and the term was coined by Michael Dustin at NYU who studied it in further detail. Daniel Davis and Jack Strominger showed structured immune synapses for a different lymphocyte, the Natural Killer cell, and published this around the same time.^[8] Abraham Kupfer first presented his findings during one of the Keystone symposia in 1995, when he showed three-dimensional images of immune cells interacting with one another. Key molecules in the synapse are the T cell receptor and its counterpart the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Also important are LFA-1, ICAM-1, CD28, and CD80/CD86.
