New study on BTN3A1/BTN2A1/Vγ9Vδ2 TCR interactions out now in Cell Reports! @forum_gd We use mutagenesis, NMR and modelling to probe BTN2A1/3A1 IgV interactions. In a cool NMR expt we show that BTN2A1 IgV domain cannot bind simultaneously to BTN3A1 and TCR cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

🎉Congrats to @TomAshEmElliot & @BendingLab whose #OpenAccess short report on #Tcell steady state antigen recognition is now published with @discovimmunol! Their research has proposed a new tool to assess rapid changes in #TCR signalling dynamics #InVivo 🔗bit.ly/3OnhKDj

Have a watch of my @JRNLclub presentation on last years @ImmunityCP paper. It’s only 12 minutes, I promise!
.@TomAshEmElliot discusses how dynamic reporters track TCR signaling over time and how TCR signal strength controls T cell function. @ImmunityCP @UniBirmingham @BendingLab @ImmunologyUoB #JRNLclub jrnlclub.org/research-films/…

Really great to have our collaborative study with @Hepworth_Lab and @ClatworthyLab now published. In this study we developed our dynamic labelling of lymphoid tissue (Dutton et al., Sci Immunol. 2019) to now visualise immune cell migration into and out of tumours. 1/8
