Abstract

The authors clarified the characteristics of effector cells of which inhibitory activity against the tumor cell growth was enhanced by interferon (IF). These cells adhered to nylon wool, but they did not adhere to a glass surface. They showed the EA-rosettees formation, but they did not show the E-rosett formation. This activity was diminished by trypsinization, X-ray irradiation and treatment with hydrocortisone and progesterone. It was not changed by the addition of aggregated Ig. In summary, the effector cells in the present study could not be identical to NK 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.
