• Germinal Center Dynamics Revealed by Multiphoton Microscopy Using a Photoactivatable Fluorescent Reporter (2010, neutral): “The role of the BCR in this model would be to retrieve antigen from the FDC surface, with affinity dictating the relative amount of antigen captured (Batista et al., 2001; Suzuki et al., 2009).”
• The immunological synapse of CTL contains a secretory domain and membrane bridges. (2001, background): “More recently, a synapse has been described between B lymphocytes and APCs, leading to acquisition by B cells of antigenic membrane proteins from theSummary target (Batista et al., 2001).”
