Question

Which of the following is MOST directly involved in the motility and intercellular signaling in T-cells: W) filamentous actin X) 200-nanometer myosin fibrils Y) cathepsin-myosin complexes Z) microvilli

Answer 1

W) filamentous actin

Step-by-step explanation:

T cells are a type of white blood cells (leukocytes) that play a fundamental role in the immune system by determining the specificity of the immune response to specific antigens. In T cells, the remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton is critical for the movement of these cells through different tissue environments and for adjusting their behavior during the scanning of antigen-presenting cells. The actin cytoskeleton acts as a physical platform for intracellular signaling events that occur at the immunological synapse formed between a T cell and an antigen-presenting cell, thereby contributing to T cell activation.
