Disputed results now just a footnote

Article Abstract:

Most immunologists do not agree with the network theory published by Thereza Imanishi-Kari in the Apr 25, 1986, issue of Cell. Charges of misconduct were dismissed against the researcher, who held that the regulation of the immune system includes the formation of networks of antibodies.
