Abstract

T cells use finger-like protrusions called ‘microvilli’ to interrogate their targets, but why they do so is unknown. To form contacts, T cells must overcome the highly charged, barrier-like layer of large molecules forming a target cell’s glycocalyx. Here, T cells are observed to use microvilli to breach a model glycocalyx barrier, forming numerous small (
