We combine total internal reflection fluorescence structured illumination microscopy with spatiotemporal image correlation spectroscopy to quantify the flow velocities and directionality of filamentous-actin at the T cell immunological synapse. These techniques demonstrate it is possible to image retrograde flow of filamentous-actin at superresolution and provide flow quantification in the form of velocity histograms and flow vector maps. The flow was found to be retrograde and radially directed throughout the periphery of T-cells during synapse formation.
我们将全内反射荧光结构照明显微镜与时空图像相关光谱相结合,以量化丝状肌动蛋白在T细胞免疫突触处的流速和方向性。这些技术表明,可以以超分辨率对丝状肌动蛋白的逆行流动进行成像,并以速度直方图和流动矢量图的形式提供流动定量分析。研究发现,在突触形成过程中,T细胞周边的流动是逆行且呈放射状的。
