Background and Objectives: Using the technique of differential hybridization of Atlas TM Human cDNA expression arrays, we previously reported the isolation of a G protein coupled receptor, CXCR-4, which is overexpressed in glioblastoma multiforme tumor tissue (GMTT) compared to normal brain tissue (

Abstract
It is demonstrated here that cells in a suspension culture of an established mammalian cell line release non‐dialyzable factors into their growth medium. These factors are capable of promoting the adhesion and spreading of these cells on a generally non‐attachable substratum and also promote spreading on an adhering substrate. Evidence in presented which demonstrates that the spreading promotion activity of the conditioned medium is dependent on the cell density of the culture from which it was derived. Dilution of the conditioned medium results in a proportionate dilution of the spreading promotion activity. The results clearly demonstrate that the production of this spreading promotion factor is continued even in the absence of cell to substrate attachment.
