Description
This sequence of four scanning electron micrograph (SEM) images shows how a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) cell contacts and destroys a cancer cell. Image 1 (SS21024641) Two normal cancer cells are lying evenly on the surface. Image 2 (SS21024642) A CAR cell has made contact and the cancer cell starts to contract. Image 3 (SS21024643) Apoptosis (programmed cell death) has been initiated, as evidenced by the formation of vesicles. Image 4 (SS21024644) The cancer cell breaks down into individual particles, which can easily be absorbed by macrophages. The CAR cell loosens the connection and searches for the next cancer cell. Magnification is 4000x at 15x12cm image size.
