The efficiency of cell detachment obtained was approximately 50% of the initial number of adhered cells.
By using the newly developed apparatus, the phenomena of cell detachment were quantitatively analyzed with ease.
Plaque development by FMDV on BHK 21 cell monolayers is a reflection of cell detachment as a manifestation of virus infection.
The BGMK monolayer remained confluent with no evidence of cell detachment or lysis.
Both inhibitors blocked cell detachment considerably but not completely compared with untreated cells.
Proteolytic cleavage of cell adhesion molecules has first been suggested to be involved in pemphigus acantholysis because protease inhibitors blocked pemphigus IgG-induced cell detachment in culture (Farb et al. 1978).
Moreover, in the presence of plasminogen, cell detachment could be modulated by the level of cell-associated uPA.
Such results highlight the importance of considering cell detachment as a serious stage in the process of biofilm development.
Induction of MnSOD by cell detachment is dependent on the NF κB transcription factor.
Similar to PEA15, loss of LFG potentiates cell detachment, adherence-independent growth, migration and metastasis.
