Flow assays allow visualization of cell adhesion under well-defined wall shear stress. Visualization of the events of cell adhesion are quantified by selective image acquisition and image processing. Events subsequent to the initial events can be studied such as cell stabilization and spreading. John T.

Immunostaining thin layer chromatograms TLC is a very sensitive detection technique of functionally active carbohydrate ligands of protein receptors. Carbohydrate structures are detected in glycolipids from complex mixtures of molecules extracted from the relevant target tissue. Proteins analyzed can be antibodies, chimeric Ig proteins, selectins, lectins, toxins, and other carbohydrate binding proteins. John L.

Many proteins and molecules promote cell adhesion including several cell surface carbohydrate binding proteins. Cell adhesion measurements on 96-well microtiter plate format are difficult due to the shear forces generated by washing the wells. The protocol here introduces the use of a liquid-filled wash chamber that separates unbound cells by gravity. This eliminates uncontrolled shear forces and passage of adherent cells through a liquid/air interface. John L.
