The InnoCyte™ Cell Adhesion Assay, Galectin-1/Galectin-3 is designed for the determination of the relative attachment of adherent cell lines to galectin-1 and galectin-3, for evaluation of cell adhesion receptors, and for assessment of inhibitory or stimulatory substances for cell attachment. The kit is supplied with a 96-well strip plate coated with galectin-1 and galectin-3. Cells are seeded in the coated wells and incubated at +37°C. Following incubation, the wells are washed briefly and attached cells are labeled the green fluorescent dye, calcein-AM. BSA-coated wells serve as a negative control and poly-L-lysine-coated wells serve as a positive control for general attachment. Relative cell attachment is assessed using a fluorescence plate reader.

|---|---|---|---|
 ~40,000 cells were added to wells coated with galectin-1, galectin-3, and BSA and incubated for 1.5 h at 37°C in the presence of 6% CO<sub>2</sub>. Cells were washed gently with D-PBS and labeled with Calcein-AM for 1 h at 37°C in the presence of 6% CO<sub>2</sub>. Fluorescence was measured as indicated in the Detailed Protocol. HT-1080 cells displayed appreciable binding to poly-L-lysine, which served as a positive control (data not shown). |
