Abstract

Primary chick embryo fibroblasts attach to a tenascin substrate, but remain rounded and do not spread out. The proportion between tenascin and fibronectin in mixtures used to coat the substrate determines the shape of the cells. Tenascin inhibits integrin-mediated chick fibroblast attachment to fibronectin, laminin, and the GRGDS peptide. Rat fibroblast attachment to fibronectin, but not to laminin, is inhibited by tenascin. A monoclonal antibody against tenascin, as well as its Fab fragments, is able to neutralize the inhibitory activity on cell attachment and is therefore assumed to mask the cell-binding site of tenascin. On electron micrographs showing this monoclonal antibody bound to tenascin, its epitope can be localized to the terminal knob at the distal ends of the tenascin arms.
