Eight-day-old chick embryo fibroblasts were shown to adhere specifically to fibronectin and laminin substrata. Moreover, the Scatchard analysis reveals 540,000 binding sites per cell for the fibronectin with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 1.35 microM and 5,500 binding sites per cell for laminin with a Kd of 1.5 nM. Furthermore, cell-fibronectin interactions are mediated by plasma membrane proteins of high molecular weight (HMW) (150K and 125K) insensitive to trypsin treatment and low molecular weight (LMW) proteins (95K, 80K, 65K and 45K) sensitive to trypsin treatment. Adhesion of 8-day-old chick embryo fibroblasts on laminin is mediated by plasma membrane proteins highly sensitive to trypsin treatment. Regarding the paucity of laminin-binding sites, the identification of laminin receptor could not be achieved. Nevertheless, this study provides quantitative and qualitative evidences for different mechanisms of 8-day-old chick embryo fibroblasts on laminin and fibronectin.
