Adhesion of human colon carcinoma variant cell lines expressing different levels of the cell surface sialyl Lewis X (sLeX) antigen to frozen sections of mouse liver was examined. KM12-HX cells that bound the monoclonal antibody (mAb) FH6 (anti-sLeX) and thus expressed a high level of sLeX demonstrated a greater degree of adhesion to liver sections than their low-binding counterparts, KM12-LX cells. The adhesion of KM12-HX cells to liver sections was partially blocked by mAb FH6, but not by another anti-sLeX mAb, KM93. The adhesion was Ca2+ dependent but was not inhibited by anti-E-selectin. Endo-beta-galactosidase treatment significantly reduced adhesion and resulted in the loss of cell surface binding sites for mAb FH6. O-linked oligosaccharides from KM12-HX cells incubated in the presence of p-nitrophenyl-N-acetylgalactosaminide were fractionated by a combination of gel filtration, anion exchange chromatography, and normal phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The structure of a mAb FH6-reactive and endo-beta-galactosidase-sensitive glycan was estimated by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry in a post source decay mode and by glycosidase digestions to be NeuAc alpha2-3Gal beta1-4GlcNAc beta1-3Gal beta1-4Glc-NAc beta1-3Gal beta1-4(+/-Fuc alpha1-3)GlcNAc beta1-6(NeuAc alpha2-3Gal beta1-3)GalNAc-pNP. Mild detergent lysates of mouse liver surface-labeled with sulfo-NHS biotin were incubated with glutaraldehyde-fixed monolayers of KM12-HX cells, and bound components were isolated after EDTA treatment. A Mr 49,000 component that bound only to KM12-HX cells and not to KM12-LX cells was identified.

Hydrazide-derivatized poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) microgels gave strong adhesion to wet, TEMPO oxidized, regenerated cellulose membranes without a drying or heating step. Adhesion was attributed to hydrazone covalent bond formation with aldehyde groups present on the cellulose surfaces. This is one of only three chemistries we have found that gives significant never-dried adhesion between wet cellulose surfaces. By contrast, for cellulose joints that have been dried and heated before wet testing, the hydrazide-hydrazone chemistry offers no advantages over standard paper industry wet strength resins. The design rules for the hydrazide-microgel adhesives include: cationic microgels are superior to anionic gels; the lower the microgel cross-link density, the higher the adhesion; longer PEG-based hydrazide tethers offer no advantage over shorter attachments; and, adhesion is independent of microgel diameter. Many of these rules were in agreement with predictions of a simple adhesion model where the microgels were assumed to be ideal springs. We propose that the unexpected, high cohesion between neighboring microgels in multilayer films was a result of bond formation between hydrazide groups and residual NHS-carboxyl esters from the preparation of the hydrazide microgels.
