The immunological synapse (IS) is the junction between an immune cell (e.g., a T
or NK cell) and another cell (e.g., an antigen-presenting cell (APC), or a tumor
cell). The formation of the IS is crucial for cell-mediated immunity, and as
such, an understanding of both the composition of the IS and the factors that
drive its formation are essential for understanding how and when NK cells
eliminate susceptible target cells. The supported lipid bilayer (SLB) system is a
highly effective tool for directly studying the IS. SLBs confer three main
advantages: (1) they allow for synapse formation on a level horizontal surface,
allowing for direct visualization of the IS under high resolution imaging
systems, (2) they mimic the surface of a target cell by providing a fluid mosaic
into which surface proteins can be embedded while permitting free motion in two
dimensions, which is important for studying the dynamics of synapse formation,
and (3) they allow investigators to determine the exact composition of the
bilayer, thus in turn allowing them to answer very specific questions about the
IS. It is our hope that this chapter will furnish readers with an awareness of
the applications of the SLB system for studying the IS in NK cells, and also of a
basic knowledge of how to use this system for themselves.
