Boltzmann energy-based image analysis demonstrates that extracellular domain size differences explain protein segregation at immune synapses.

Immune synapses formed by T and NK cells both show segregation of the integrin ICAM1 from other proteins such as CD2 (T cell) or KIR (NK cell). However, the mechanism by which these proteins segregate remains unclear; one key hypothesis is a redistribution based on protein size. Simulations of this...
