In the present study, we directly investigated the recruitment of immune cells, including HIV-targeted cells, in vaginal mucosal tissues instead of soluble adhesion molecules in vaginal fluids and developed in vitro cells models.
Three types of adhesives (Scheirs 1998) are utilized for unmodified labels instead of water-soluble adhesives such as dextrin, starch, and casein glues, which have poor adhesion to PET plastics.
Instead of the attaching effacing mechanism of adhesion to intestinal mucosa that is typical of STEC associated with severe human disease (5 ), the STEC O104 epidemic strain had genetic markers and an adhesion pattern (6 ) typical of enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), another group of diarrheagenic strains found frequently in developing countries (5 ).
Given these findings, we focused on the intercellular adhesion molecule, E-cadherin, and used a fusion protein of the E-cadherin extracellular domain and the IgG Fc domain (E-cad-Fc) [13] as a model matrix for cell adhesion instead of the conventionally used extracellular matrices as a surface-coating material, to clarify the effect of E-cadherin on the maintenance of pluripotency of ES cells.
For roller template stripping of submicron-size patterns from a Si substrate, optical adhesive (Norland Inc., NOA63) was used as a transfer layer instead of Kapton tape to enhance adhesion for small metal structures.
In rupture adhesion processes, instead of viscous forces, some kind of electrical forces are supposed to be dominant.
In this study, we also evaluated the predictive value of S-alone, instead of S with or without adhesion.
In these experiments, 10 minutes instead of 30 minutes were allowed for adhesion prior to triplicate PBS washing.
Chitosan can be used instead of thrombin because it enhances aggregation, adhesion, and expression of α-granule membrane glycoprotein.
