Comment on "Functional consequences of Kv1.3 ion channel rearrangement into the immunological synapse"

Immunol Lett. 2009 Aug 15;125(2):156-7. doi: 10.1016/j.imlet.2009.07.002. Epub 2009 Jul 10.

Abstract

Modulation of the biophysical properties of potassium channel currents upon immunological synapse formation between T cells and antigen-presenting cells has been reported. Some comments on this work are discussed in the light of previously described TASK channels on T lymphocytes.
