ABSTRACT The migration of B cells into secondary lymphoid organs is required for the generation of an effective immune response. Here we analyzed the involvement of SWAP-70, a
Rac-interacting protein involved in actin rearrangement, in B cell entry into lymph nodes. We noted reduced migration of _Swap70__−/−_ B cells into lymph nodes _in vivo_. _Swap70__−/−_ B
cells rolled and adhered, yet accumulated in lymph node high endothelial venules. This defect was not due to impaired integrin expression or chemotaxis. Instead, _Swap70__−/−_ B cells
aberrantly regulated integrin-mediated adhesion. During attachment, _Swap70__−/−_ B cells showed defective polarization and did not form uropods or stabilize lamellipodia at a defined
region. Thus, SWAP-70 selectively regulates processes essential for B cell entry into lymph nodes. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content,
