Protocol for live-cell imaging of immune synapse formation and activation of CAR T cells against cancer cells

Summary: Immune synapse (IS) formation determines T cell antitumor activity. Here, we present a protocol for characterizing the IS formation between chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells and tumor cells by measuring the IS size and calcium flux by live-cell imaging. We describe steps for CAR T cel...
