    This study presents a new method to measure cell adhesion using fluid dynamics. It quantizes cell adhesiveness and receptor diffusion, aiding in understanding cell interactions.

    Area of Science:

    • Biophysics
    • Cell Biology
    • Fluid Dynamics

    Background:

    • Intercellular adhesion is crucial for biological processes.
    • Quantifying cell adhesiveness and receptor dynamics is challenging.
    • Previous methods lack precision in dynamic cell interaction analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an experimental method for measuring intercellular adhesion.
    • To determine cell adhesiveness using hydrodynamic conditions.
    • To estimate receptor diffusion constants and binding affinities.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing Poiseuille flow to analyze cell interactions in suspension.
    • Measuring capture efficiency under controlled flow conditions.
    • Applying theoretical models to cell aggregation data.

    Main Results:

    • Established a method to determine cell adhesiveness via capture efficiency.
    • Estimated the diffusion constant of cell membrane receptors (5.6 X 10^-11 cm²/s).
    • Quantified receptor diffusion in formalin-treated cells (6.8 X 10^-12 cm²/s), receptor site numbers, and affinity constants.

    Conclusions:

    • The Poiseuille flow method effectively measures intercellular adhesion.
    • Estimated receptor diffusion constants align with direct measurements.
    • The study provides insights into cell surface receptor dynamics and interactions.
