This microscopic image of fixed cells shows how a dendritic cell (right) presents the messenger substance interleukin 6 (IL-6) to a T cell. The nuclei of the T and dendritic cell are colored green, the cell body of the dendritic cell is shown in grey. The white dots correspond to IL-6-IL-6 Ralpha complex. The image was taken for the magazine Faszination Forschung (Januar 2017) and used for TUM press release "Multiple sclerosis: Newly discovered signal mechanism causes T cells to turn pathogenic".
