title: Changes in the arrangement of the microtubule system of murine peritoneal cells after an antigenic stimulation.
abstract: 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.
