Lymphocyte Recirculation and Homing in Immunity, 1 January 2002 Homing are essential to in vivo immune responses The immune system works like a single organ but its parts are located in many regions of the body. Integration of the parts occurs through a process, discovered by Sir James Gowans,...Applet for study of filament structure built from subunits.
