Tracking B-cell movement;http://f1000.com/6837956?key=g8f7jn6yc79cycx By applying GFP technology in a new way, authors tracked B-cell maturation in the lymph nodes as the cells move from an area of rapid proliferation to an area where B cells that produce the best antibodies are selected, and back again, and found an essential role of T helper cells in this transition.
