Abstract

The effect of adherent peritoneal exudate cells (APECs) from pristane treated and intact mice was studied by Winn's test. The experiments were performed with the use of plasmacytoma cell lines TEPC-15f, MP-26 and five primary lines. The studies showed that APECs from mice exposed to treatment with pristane were able to stimulate growth of both TEPC-15f and MP-26 plasmacytoma. The primary plasmacytoma lines adapted to intraperitoneal growth more easily in the presence of adherent cells than when they were given alone.

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.
