Abrogation of Lymphocyte Trapping by Ascitic Tumours

Nature volume 246, pages 101–103 (1973)Cite this article

Abstract

SEQUESTRATION of lymphocytes within antigen-stimulated lymphoid organs is observed regularly following injection of immunogens and adjuvants1–5. This lymphoid “trapping” is one of the earliest events in immunization and may be necessary for the expression of an effective immune response. The mechanism responsible for controlling the operation of the “trap” is incompletely understood but must relate to the way in which lymphocytes normally recirculate.
