Influence of the temperature on the shear stress sensitivity of adherent BHK 21 cells.
The influence of temperature on the shear sensitivity of anchorage-dependent baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells was investigated. The temperature effect in general was compared for stressed and unstressed cells. Both the growth rate as well as the shear sensitivity are temperature-dependent. Decreasing the temperature lowered the growth rate and increased the ability of the BHK cells to withstand shear stress.
