Abstract

Cytolytically active lymphocytes were generated by immunizations between rat strains and evaluated by both kinetic and monolayer adsorption techniques. Kinetic analysis yields two values (Ka and Vmax), which are characteristic of interactions between individual effector and target cell populations. The Ka values this obtained correlate with the quantitative level of adsorption of CTL onto cellular monolayers, and we conclude that Ka is a measure of the binding avidity of effector and target cells.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
