Antigen-engaged B cells undergo chemotaxis toward the T zone and form motile conjugates with helper T cells.

Interactions between B and T cells are essential for most antibody responses, but the dynamics of these interactions are poorly understood. By two-photon microscopy of intact lymph nodes, we show that upon exposure to antigen, B cells migrate with directional preference toward the B-zone-T-zone boun...
