The effect of temperature on the adhesion of cells to glass was studied. The initial cell adhesion was found to be temperature dependent within the range 4°–37°C. The initial cell adhesion was independent of temperature changes after formaldehyde fixation of the cells or after arresting cell metabolism with 2,4‐dinitrophenol and iodoacetate. It is suggested that cell surface functions dependent on cellular metabolism facilitates initial cell adhesion.
