title: Effect of sulfated polysaccharides on hepatocyte adhesion.
abstract: The effects of sulfated polysaccharides on hepatocyte adhesion on the polystyrene dish and fibronectin-coated dish were investigated. Dextran sulfate and synthetic mannopyranan sulfate slightly inhibited hepatocyte adhesion on fibronectin-coated dish, while heparin showed no effect. On the other hand, hepatocyte adhesion on polystyrene dishes was stimulated in the presence of sulfated polysaccharides in the medium.
