How Immune Cells Recognize their Enemies
12/08/2023![The figure shows how close BTN3 molecules come to each other in the cell by comparing BTN3A1 molecules with modified BTN3A1 molecules. The color blue/turquoise stands for no or little interaction and thus a greater distance. Green and red show a stronger interaction, i.e. closer proximity.](/fileadmin/_processed_/d/d/csm_1208Herrmann-Nat-Comm-www_0355aaf43b.jpg)
