Functional sequences modulated by morphological transitions in human lymphoid cells grown invitro.
Immunoglobulin-producing cells undergo a series of morphological transitions; each configuration displays specific functional attributes. The life cycle of immunocytes may be visualized as a series of functional compartments expressed by morphological sequences.
