title: [Highly permeable contacts between epithelial cells in culture].
abstract: Cultured epithelial cells producing monolayered sheets were used to study intercellular contacts permeable to sodium fluorescein. Cells in dense cultures were more capable of forming permeable junctions than cells of sparse cultures. In addition, the standard microelectrode technique revealed some differences in cellular membrane potentials in dense and sparse cultures. A possible correlation is discussed between intercellular contact formation and other features of cells depending on cell culture density.
