Abstract
Since our early observation that suspensions of in vitro labelled mouse spleen cells have a distribution pattern within the host’s peripheral lymphoid organs which differs from the pattern of distribution of labelled thymus cells (1) other studies of the migratory patterns of lympho-myeloid cells in a number of species (2, 3) have given support to the concept that mature lympho-myeloid cell populations have the capacity to ecotax (4) i.e. to migrate and arrange themselves in clearly defined microenvironments of the peripheral lymphoid organs.
