title: Stimulatory and inhibitory effects of serum and conditioned medium on cell spreading.
abstract: This work deals with the effects of coating culture dishes with chick embryo fibroblast conditioned medium (CM) and 1% fetal calf serum (FCS) on the rates of attachment and spreading of chick embryo fibroblasts. It appeared that a FCS coating over a CM precoating exerted a remarkable promoting cooperative effect on cell spreading whereas a CM coating over a FCS precoating had a very marked inhibitory effect. Precoating with cobalt-protoporphyrin IX (CoPP) was also performed to serve as a substrate for FCS or CM coating. This CoPP precoating was found to exert a promoting effect for FCS coating only.
