Concanavalin A (ConA) pretreatment inhibited the adhesion of fibroblasts to plastic surface in a dose-dependent manner. The ConA effect was reversible and could be inhibited by α-methylmannoside. Pretreatment with cytochalasin B (CB) and colchicine increased the ConA effect. Divalent and monovalent ConA derivatives had no effect on the fibroblast adhesion. This indicates that ligand attachment to ConA receptors is not sufficient to prevent cell adhesion. The requirement of tetravalent ConA for inhibition of cell adhesion suggests that the decrease of lateral mobility of membrane components, which seems to be specific for tetravalent ConA, is responsible for the inhibition of cell adhesion. The enhancement of the ConA effect by colchicine and CB pretreatment suggests an involvement of microtubules and microfilaments in the mobility of ConA receptors of fibroblasts.
