Popis: Summary: Lymphocyte priming in lymph nodes (LNs) was postulated to depend on the formation of stable T cell receptor (TCR)-specific immune synapses (ISs) with antigen (Ag)-presenting dendritic cells (DCs). The high-affinity LFA-1 ligand ICAM-1 was implicated in different ISs studied in vitro. We dissect the in vivo roles of endogenous DC ICAM-1 in Ag-stimulated T cell proliferation and differentiation and find that under type 1 polarizing conditions in vaccinated or vaccinia virus-infected skin-draining LNs, Ag-presenting DCs engage in ICAM-1-dependent stable conjugates with a subset of Ag-specific CD8 blasts. Nevertheless, in the absence of these conjugates, CD8 lymphocyte proliferation and differentiation into functional cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) and skin homing effector lymphocytes takes place normally. Our results suggest that although CD8 T cell blasts engage in tight ICAM-1-dependent DC-T ISs, firm ISs are dispensable for TCR-triggered proliferation and differentiation into productive effector lymphocytes.
