The article describes the journey from the very beginning, tells about the obstacles surpassed and the hard work of the people involved, and drags you into exciting research. Research that has resulted in a publication named Structure of the human NK cell NKR-P1:LLT1 receptor:ligand complex reveals clustering in the immune synapse<\/mark><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The result was quite unexpected and interesting. One wonders at that moment whether this is just an artifact of the crystal or whether such a structure really exists on the cell surface.”<\/em><\/p>RNDr. Ond\u0159ej Van\u011bk, Ph.D.<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In this study, the research team led by Dr. Ond\u0159ej Van\u011bk from the Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Science, Charles University, and his colleagues from the Institute of Biotechnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences in the center BIOCEV have discovered the structure of a protein complex involved in recognizing cancerous cells and further studied the fashion in which these proteins interact. <\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
