## Abstract Aggregation of chick embryonic liver and kidney cells was completely abolished by a treatment with carboxypyridine disulfide which binds βSH groups. The effect could be reversed by a subsequent treatment with some thiols. Inhibition of RNA synthesis or respiratory metabolism did not pre

β¦ Synopsis
We refine an existing model of T lymphocyte recirculation, in order to incorporate a description of the adhesion between T cells and other cell types in the lymphoid tissue, such as dendritic cells. The new model is able to fit the animal experiments on lymphocyte recirculation. It also allows for the variation of these adhesive properties, as would occur in the presence of antigen, and it is shown that it is possible for the T cell counts in blood to reach very low levels, as a result of increased adhesion between T cells and dendritic or other cells present in the lymphoid tissue. We discuss the implications of this phenomenon for HIV infection.

Presumably this is because only Ca++ is able to satisfy the divalent cation requirement for cellular adhesion in this tissue. Although early s
