Studies on cell adhesion: II. Adhesion of cells to surfaces of diverse chemical composition and inhibition of adhesion by sulfhydryl binding reagents

摘要: Abstract Rat hepatoma cells are able to adhere many surfaces of diverse chemical compositions. Adhesion different kinds was inhibited when were treated with sulfhydryl binding reagents, but not inhibitors transport, respiration, and glycolysis. Inhibition adhesion by p -mercuribenozate arsenite reversible; inhibition HgCl 2 , iodoacetate N -ethylmaleimide reversible. Cell is discussed in terms current theories adhesion.
