Fig. 2. Loss of EDTA/EGTA-sensitive adhesion sites in cadA cells. Cells were developed in 17 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.4) for 4 hours. Cell aggregates were dissociated mechanically and cell reassociation was assayed in the presence of 10 mM EDTA or 10 mM EGTA. (A) Reassociation of KAX3 in the presence of EDTA (
) or EGTA (
), or in their absence (
). (B) Reassociation of cadA-10 cells in the presence of EDTA (
) or EGTA (
), or in their absence (
). (C) Effects of soluble DdCAD-1 and anti-DdCAD-1 Fab on the reassociation of cadA-10 cells. Mutant cells were allowed to reassociate in the absence (
) or presence (
)of 50 µg/ml soluble DdCAD-1 or 50 µg/ml anti-DdCAD-1 Fab (
) or 20 mM carnitine (
). Data represent mean±s.d. (n=3).
