Molecules making up the Ca*+-independent cell-cell adhesion sites (CIDS) of Chinese hamster V79 cells have been investigated. Previous studies showed that Fab fragments(Fab) of the antibody raised against the surface of V79 cells inhibit the Ca*+-independent aggregation of V79 cells, and that this inhibitory effect is neutralized by the addition of some proteinous substance released from the surface of V79 cells treated with 0.01% trypsin. In the present study, we found that the antibody raised against this substance (anti-TRF) displays the complement-dependent cytotoxicity more strongly to the cells with active CIDS than to those without it. The Fab of this antibody inhibited the Ca*+-independent aggregation of V79 cells strongly, particularly in the presence of a hyaluronidase. Electrophoresis of the materials immunoprecipitated with anti-TRF from lysates of cells labeled with radioactive iodine, monosaccharides or methionine showed that a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 125, DDD is the only component to react with this antibody in cells with the active CIDS. Indirect immunofluorescence of anti-TRF showed that the antigens are distributed over the entire surface of V79 cells, and are present only in fibroblastic cells in the primary culture of Chinese hamster hepatic cells. These results suggest that the glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 125, DDO has a specific role in the Ca*+-independent adhesion of Chinese hamster fibroblastic cells.
