Cell Recognition Systems in Eukaryotic Cells

  • Chapter
Bacterial Adherence

Part of the book series: Receptors and Recognition ((RERE,volume 6))

Abstract

Direct interactions between cells are essential to the proper functioning of virtually all multicellular organisms. Study of these interactions extends to most disciplines in biology. In addition to bacterial adherence, the subject of this volume, excellent examples are to be found in embryology (interactions in developing tissues), hematology (hemostasis reactions), immunology (lymphocyte and macrophage interactions) and virology (viral infectivity). Although apparently unrelated, each of these processes depends on direct physical interactions between two or more membrane surfaces, and the ability of cells to discriminate between different membranes.
