Abstract
THE phenomenon of capping in lymphocytes1–4 consists of the segregation of membrane components, specifically cross-linked by antibody or other ligand, at one pole of the cell, typically that surrounding the centrosome1,2. Capping has been interpreted as resulting from a countercurrent flow of membrane components, in which the cross-linked patches are transported towards the centrosome region by interaction with cytoplasmic structures, while the unaffected parts of the membrane flow in the opposite direction1,2,5.
