adhesives for cell attachment

[jillG]

Does anybody know the best adhesive/protein coat for cell attachment, I'm currently using fibronectin. Thanks

Actually it depends what kind of cells are you using. In case of PMN's (human neutrophils) you can use α-Polylysine. It is commonly used as an attachment factor to improve cell adherency.

Depends also a bit of on the cell types. For some, fibrinogen may actually reduce adhesion. But as mentioned, polylysine is commonly used. Also primary amines. Also, the type of coating can influence cell growth and morphology.
