An outstanding study using intravital imaging to track the movement of T cells on the fibroblastic reticular cell (FRC) network in the T cell zones and B cell movement on the follicular dendritic cell network (FDC) of the B cell zones. This result provides a new level of regulation to the steady-state organization of movement within lymph nodes.

Intravital imaging of antigen loaded DC priming antigen-specific B cells as they enter lymph node via high endothelial venules. These interactions induce B cell receptor activation, migration arrest and accumulation of primed B cells in the T cell zones. It was suspected that even thymus-dependent antigens would be presented by DC in vivo, but this had not been demonstrated.
