Preface Welcome to the second edition of Methods and Protocols for assessing T cell Trafficking, in the Methods in Molecular Biology series. The trafficking of T cells is relevant in numerous contexts. It occurs during population and maturation of T cells in the thymus and is required for dissemination of antigen naïve T cells to the secondary lymphatic organs where immune responses are initiated. Indeed, T cell trafficking within lymph nodes plays an important role
