Changes in the arrangement of the microtubule system of murine peritoneal cells after an antigenic stimulation.
We determined two characteristic morphological patterns typical for the organization of microtubule systems of murine peritoneal macrophages and lymphocytes. A small number of both cell types formed uropods with an axial bundle of microtubules. This number remains practically unchanged during 48 h of cultivation in non-antigenic environment but grows rapidly in the presence of an antigen.
