title: Intercellular adhesiveness of H-2 identical and H-2 disparate cells.
abstract: Using a 2 X 2 design, the collection rates of cells from radioactively labelled single-cell suspensions on cell-coated collecting surfaces were tested for a possible H-2 effect on intracellular adhesiveness. By a statistical procedure, the undesirable variability in the suspension and/or in the collecting surface could be eliminated, and the H-2 specific net effect estimated. In this way it was possible to detect (even on the background of a large non-specific variability) significant reductions of the allogeneic collection rates (i.e. between cells which differed only in their H-2 haplotypes) as compared to the syngeneic standards. It is concluded that cells of a given H-2 haplotype have preferential adhesiveness to syngeneic cells.
