โฆ Synopsis
Experiments made on the passage of cells through untreated and siliconized glass beads, and on the adhesion and spread of cultured cells on glass and Teflon surfaces show that, i n the absence of serum and in its presence in low concentrations, cell adhesion and spread is sensitive to substratum wettability. On the other hand, in the presence of 100% serum, no differences in adhesive parameters are detectable. It is concluded that arguments correlating cell adhesion to surface wettability, and, by inference, surface free energy, are unsubstantiated in 100% serum, which may well approximate to the i n vivo situation.
The results also show no correlation between parameters of cell adhesion and cell separation, and thereby support the hypothesis that these are different processes.
