LFA-1 activates focal adhesion kinases FAK1/PYK2 to generate LAT-GRB2-SKAP1 complexes that terminate T-cell conjugate formation

The T-cell integrin LFA-1 binds ICAM-1 on antigen presenting cells to affect TCR-MHC interactions. Here the authors show detailed mechanics of how LFA-1 ligation affects T-cell conjugation to dendritic cells to regulate adhesion and de-adhesion of these cells in the context of antigen presentation.
