When motile cells are incubated with Forssman glycolipid, the antigen is incorporated into the cells' plasma membranes. If cross-linked by antibody, the patched glycolipids cap. This process is sensitive to those drugs that are known to inhibit capping of protein antigens. The results support a flow mechanism for capping.
