Analysis of bacterial adhesion using a gradient force analysis method and colloid probe atomic force microscopy.
The atomic force microscope (AFM) has been used to examine the stickiness of bacteria on the basis of the analysis of approach and retraction force curves between the AFM tip and the bacterial surface. One difficulty in analyzing approach curve data is that the distance between the AFM tip and the surface of the bacterium is difficult to define. The exact distances are difficult to determine be...
متن کاملCell adhesion force microscopy.
The adhesion forces of cervical carcinoma cells in tissue culture were measured by using the manipulation force microscope, a novel atomic force microscope. The forces were studied as a function of time and temperature for cells cultured on hydrophilic and hydrophobic polystyrene substrates with preadsorbed proteins. The cells attached faster and stronger at 37 degreesC than at 23 degreesC and ...
متن کاملThe Technique for Measurement of Cell Adhesion Force
After cells attach the substrata, cells begin to spread and form an organized actin cytoskeleton and complex transmembrane signaling regions, then cells start to express their functions, such as proliferation, differentiation and so on. Therefore, cell adhesion is very important. Recently, a number of studies have investigated cell adhesion from the viewpoint of biochemistry, materials, and mec...
متن کاملDirect Force Measurement of Liposomes by Atomic Force Microscopy
Liposomes serve as models for cells and show increasing applications in medical and nonmedical fields. Unilamellar vesicles are prepared from multilamellar vesicle (MLV) dispersions either by sonication or extrusion. The shape stability of liposomes is important in the understanding of membrane fusion, as well as in drug delivery and gene therapy. Therefore it has been the subject of numerous t...
متن کاملDynamic force spectroscopy to probe adhesion strength of living cells.
We studied the mechanical strength of the adhesion of living cells to model membranes. The latter contained a RGD lipopeptide which is a high affinity binding site for a cell adhesion molecule (integrin alpha(V)beta(3)). Cells adhered specifically to the vesicles. We used micropipette aspiration for breaking this adhesion with well defined forces. Systematic variation of the rate of force appli...
