Is every homology theory given by a spectrum?

Let $E$ be a spectrum. For any CW complex $X$, define $h_*=\pi_i(E\wedge X)$. Then we know that $h_*$ form a homology theory. In other words, there functors satisfy the homotopy invariance, maps a cofiber sequence of spaces to a long exact sequence of abelian groups, also satisfy the wedge axiom in the definition of a homology theory. I want to know the converse case. Is every homology theory given by a spectrum in such way?
