BCells: Two-Photon Data: B Cells in a Lymph Node

Description

Labelled B cells were adoptively transfered and intravitally imaged (using two-photon microscopy) inside a peripheral lymph node of the recipient mouse. These data illustrate the characteristic "random-walk-like" motion pattern of B cells in lymph nodes.

Usage

data("BCells")

Format

An S3 object of class "tracks"; a list with 24 elements. Each element name identifies a cell track. Each element is a matrix containing the following four columns.

Source

Data were generated in 2012 in the Mark J. Miller Lab, Department of Medicine, Washington University in St Louis, USA.
