Jurkat T cells were found to adhere to a tissue culture flask or cover glass when 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) was withdrawn. However, the cells adhered to extracellular matrix, especially fibronectin, regardless of the presence of FBS. We hypothesized that a substance in FBS inhibits T cells' adherence. Through a purification and identification procedure performed on the substance, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was found to inhibit T cell adhesion. BSA, furthermore, inhibited the adhesion of human primary cultured T cells. These results suggest a novel function for albumin as a T cell adhesion inhibitor.
