In the immune system, such clustering and segregation of membrane-bound proteins is observed at the intercellular junction between lymphocytes and antigen presenting cells (APC) as they become adherent and engage in antigen recognition. Biologically, formation and stability of intercellular junctions are mediated by protein complexes at the cell surface, as well as the internal machinery of the cells involved. |
