## Abstract Materials to enhance cell adhesion were synthesized by surface integration of peptide, Arg‐Gly‐Asp‐Ser(RGDS), which is an active‐site sequence of cell‐adhesive proteins. Polystyrene film was glowdischarged and graft‐copolymerized with acrylic acid. Then the peptide was immobilized to th
Many of the proteins that mediate cell adhesion processesfibronectin, fibrinogen, vitronectin, von Willebrand factor, osteopontin, laminin and various collagens -contain the amino acid sequence Arg-Gly-Asp. Short peptides that include this sequence have been shown to inhibit the interactions of cell
During an inflammatory response, leukocytes adhere to the blood-vessel wall and to underlying extracellular matrix-protein fibronectin via noncovalent interaction through two distinct cell-surface integrins, ct5131 and ~4[~1. An Arg-Gly-Asp tripeptide in the cell-binding domain of fibronectin has be
