Abstract
A protein with potent cell-attachment and spreading-promoting activity was isolated from fibronectin-free human serum. The purification steps included affinity chromatography on heparin-agarose and preparative isoelectric focusing. The purified protein was homogeneous as judged from dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. It had an isoelectric point of 5.0 and an Mr of 52 000. The protein promoted the spreading of Chinese-hamster ovary cells to plastic in a manner similar to that observed with fibronectin.Entities:
