The initial adhesion of cells in synchronized and steady state cell cultures has been investigated, and was found to be of a constant value through all stages of the cell cycle. This is contrary to observations on established cell adhesion in monolayer cell cultures where adhesion is decreased during mitosis. It is suggested that this decrease in cell adhesion is caused by a reduced contact area between the mitotic cell and the substratum.
