    Receptor-ligand interactions play essential signaling roles within intercellular contact regions. This is particularly important within the context of the immune synapse where protein communication at the surface of physically interacting T cells and antigen-presenting cells regulate downstream immune signaling responses. To identify protein microenvironments within immunological synapses, we combined a flavin-dependent photocatalytic labeling strategy with quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Using α-PD-L1 or α-PD-1 single-domain antibody (VHH)-based photocatalyst targeting modalities, we profiled protein microenvironments within the intercellular region of an immune synapse-forming co-culture system. In addition to enrichment of both PD-L1 and PD-1 with either targeting modality, we also observed enrichment of both known immune synapse residing receptor-ligand pairs and surface proteins, as well as previously unknown synapse residing proteins.
