Abstract

In monolayers of freshly isolated human mononuclear blood cells, 5-10% of the adherent cells are non-monocytic. These cells detach during the first day of in vitro culture. These detached cells exert high cytolytic and cytostatic activities. The detached cells were found to be mostly (90%) nonmonocytic as assessed by cell morphology studies and characterization with respect to membrane markers. The detached cells consisted of 40% T-lymphocytes. 10% B-lymphocytes and 40% non-T, non-B lymphocytes. Thirty-five percent of the cells were Fc-receptor-bearing cells. Following sheep red blood cell (SRBC) rosetting, the cytotoxic cells were found in the non-SRBC-rosetting fraction, viz. they were non-T lymphocytes.

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.
