Recap on cell migration.
Most animal cells move cross-linked surface antigens to one pole of the cell, a phenomenon called 'capping'. It is closely related to the rearward movement of particles attached to their surface. Cap formation is one of the most accessible dynamic properties of cells and is closely related to how they move. Yet, how this occurs is unknown.
