Studies using antigen-presenting systems at the single-cell and ensemble levels can provide complementary insights into T-cell signaling and activation. Although crucial for advancing basic immunology and immunotherapy, there is a notable absence of synthetic material toolkits that examine T cells at both levels, and especially those capable of single-molecule-level manipulation. Here we devise a biomimetic antigen-presenting system (bAPS) for single-cell stimulation and ensemble modulation of T-cell recognition...
