Abstract
Blood leukocytes exhibit specific cell type recognition. Neutrophils adhere to neutrophils, eosinophils to eosinophils, basophils to basophils and monocytes to monocytes. Rather large homotypic aggragates are formed. These are almost abolished by prior treatment of the cells with trypsin. It is assumed that a protein is involved in this type of cell recognition. protein monomer-monomer interaction could provide the specificity required in homotypic aggregate formation.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
