| Title | Quantification of cell adhesion force with AFM: distribution of vitronectin receptors on a living MC3T3-E1 cell. |
| Journal | Ultramicroscopy |
| Abstract |
Distribution of vitronectin (VN) receptors on a living murine osteoblastic cell was successfully measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM). First, the distribution of the integrin beta(5) subunit which constitutes a part of the VN receptor on the cell was confirmed by conventional immunohistochemistry after fixing the cell. To visualize the distribution of the receptor on a living cell by an independent and potentially a more quantitative method, the AFM was used with a microbead attached to the cantilever tip to increase the area of contact and VN was immobilized on the microbead. Force measurements were then performed over a large area of a living murine osteoblastic cell using the microbead covered with VN. |
