Chinese hamster V79 cells were previously suggested to possess 2 mechanisms for their mutual adhesion, Ca2+-dependent and Ca2+-independent ones. Here cells with only the Ca2+-dependent mechanism intact were prepared by dispersing cell monolayers with trypsin (0.01%) containing Ca2+. Cells dispersed with a very low trypsin concentration (0.0001%) in the absence of Ca2+ retain only the Ca2+-independent mechanism intact. Fab antibody fragments directed against surface antigens of V79 cells inhibited the aggregation of V79 cells by the Ca2+-independent mechanism, but did not inhibit the aggregation of these cells by the Ca2+-dependent mechanism. The 2 cell adhesion mechanisms may be based on different cellular components. Molecules responsible for the Ca2+-independent adhesion mechanism are probably cell surface components, because they were released from cells by the treatment with 0.01% trypsin without losing their specific antigenicity. The presence of adhesion mechanisms similar to those in V79 cells was shown in neural retinal cells of chick embryos. These mechanisms of cell adhesion supposedly are generally present among a variety of cell types.
