Somatostatin-induced adhesion of CCRF-CEM T-cells to various ECM components. Note that this T-cell line shows poor adhesion to CIV and LAM in the absence of somatostatin. CCRF-CEM cells were allowed to adhere to FN, CIV, LAM and BSA-coated wells in the presence of somatostatin-14. After fixation the number of adherent cells in five microscopic fields were counted and the mean determined. The graph shows the results of one representative experiment. The spontaneous adhesion to FN is high and not affected by somatostatin. The adhesion to BSA is not influenced by somatostatin. • FN; ▾ LAM; ▪ CIV; ▴ BSA.
