This paper, along with references 22 and 80, describes the formation of dynamic and highly motile TCR microclusters at the periphery of the cSMAC, and indicate that they serve as platforms for active signalling during TCR-peptide-MHC interaction. Surprisingly, TCR microclusters move towards the cSMAC from the periphery, and TCR microclusters within the cSMAC were shown not to be associated with signalling molecules, which supports the possibility that the cSMAC is involved in receptor internalization and signal attenuation.
