Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have identified unique cell surface antigens which are associated with the specific binding of lymphocytes to high endothelial venules (HEV). Evidence is presented in this paper which demonstrates that uptake of the fluorescent dye calcein by lymphocytes represents an additional marker for the lymph node homing subpopulation of lymphocytes. Calcein exhibits a characteristic ability to label...
