immune system
• in a 3D matrix, T cells arrest more often than wild-type cells
• when motile, T cells migrate twice as fast as wild-type cells
• arrested T cells exhibit defective spontaneous reinitiation of migration compared with wild-type cells
• following wash-out of blebbistatin, T cells take 3 times as long to reinitiate polarization compared with wild-type cells
• in lymph nodes, T cells exhibit faster movement with reduced turning angle compared with wild-type cells
• however, T cells exhibit normal arrest rates in a 2D matrix, homing to lymph nodes in vivo and antigen recognition
