No evidence for collective migration was found, calling into question the role of chemokine gradients in T-cell trafficking within the T-cell zone of the lymph node.

Nature. 427:2004;154-159 In this study, T cell-DC contacts were visualized in lymph nodes of live animals during the course of T-cell activation. Initial contacts were short and dynamic. After 12 hours, stable and long-lasting interactions were mostly observed.
