Dynamic behavior of T cells and thymocytes in lymphoid organs as revealed by two-photon microscopy.
The initial application of two-photon imaging to the study of lymphoid tissues has provided a dramatic glimpse into how cells of the immune system move and interact in their native environments. In this review we summarize what we have learned so far and point out areas for future investigation using this approach.
