Microspikes on the Lymphocyte Uropod

William McFarland 1

1 Veterans Admninistration Hospital, Washington. D.C. 20422

Lymphocytes have anatomic and functional characteristics reiminiscent of the amoeba. The capacity to form microscopikes on the uropod suggests a high degree of specialization essential to the lympphocyte's function in immunnologic reactions.
