T-cell receptor signaling leads to enhanced integrin-mediated cell adhesion.  T-Cell Receptor stimulation was shown to affect ICAM-1 (integrin ligand) binding to LFA-1 (integrin) on T cells. To demonstrate this, varying concentrations of purified ICAM-1 were added to unstimulated or T-Cell Receptor-stimulated T cells, and the amount of ICAM-1 binding was measured. The data from such an experiment are displayed on the figure below.  Please assign the red or blue lines correctly to ‘unstimulated’ or ‘T-Cell Receptor-stimulated’ T cells, and explain the reasoning for your answer.

Cell Signaling

It allows cells to perform various cellular activities, coordinate, and interact with other cells. All cells of an organism receive signals from their environments and respond accordingly. Even the unicellular eukaryotes receive signals secreted by other cells and respond. In the case of yeast, mating takes place by signaling between the yeast cells. Communication by cell signaling in a multicellular organism has become a vast and important part of various fields of biology.
