Endocytosis of T cell receptors (TCR) and their polarized recycling back to the plasma membrane is crucial for T cell activation; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here the authors follow TCR and show that a mobile endocytic network connects clathrin-independent receptor endocytosis to recycling which is required for T cell activation.
