- Description:
Lymphocytic T cells play a crucial role in adaptive immune responses, requiring T cell receptor interaction with peptide Major
Histocompatibility Complex and co-stimulation through receptors such as CD3 and CD4. This study investigates IFN-γ secretion in
activated Jurkat cells through these co-receptors using the CellStudio platform, which allows precise control over experimental conditions10
and monitoring of cell secretion. This technique is based on creating cell islands with a controlled microenvironment, sourrounded by
microbeads for secreted proteins capture, through the Printing and Vacuum Lithography technique.
