Somatostatin-induced adhesion of HUT-78 T-cells to various ECM components. Note that this T-cell line in the absence of somatostatin shows poor or negligible substrate adhesion to all the three ECM components FN, CIV and LAM. The Sézary cell line HUT-78 was allowed to adhere to FN, CIV or LAM-coated wells in the presence of somatostatin-14. After fixation, we determined the mean of five microscopic fields. Mean values and standard error of eight experiments are shown. Significant difference between control and somatostatin-treated cells are indicated (*P < 0·05, **P < 0·01).
