Abstract

Concanavalin A-mediated agglutination reactions of hepatoma cells [AH-130F(N)] and isolated liver cells, as well as of plasma membranes prepared from the liver and hepatoma, were investigated kinetically together with the effect of colchicine upon them. Concanavalin A-mediated agglutination of hepatoma cells at 25 degrees proceeded with biphasic kinetics (first and second stages of agglutination), while no appreciable agglutination of liver cells was observed in the presence of concanavalin A. The plasma membranes from the liver and hepatoma cells were similarly agglutinated with concanavalin A at 25 degrees but not at 0 degrees. The concanavalin A-mediated membrane agglutination proceeded with monophasic kinetics and was incomplete. Colchicine inhibited preferentially the second stage of concanavalin A-mediated agglutination of hepatoma cells, but it did not affect the concanavalin A-mediated agglutination of plasma membranes of both types of cells.
