Popis: Mechanical forces acting on ligand-engaged T-cell receptors (TCRs) have previously been implicated in T-cell antigen recognition, yet their sensitivity and specificity are still poorly defined. Here, authors report a FRET-based sensor that informs directly on the magnitude and kinetics of TCR-imposed forces at the single molecule level.
