3.1.2.1. Adherent cultures
-
These cells depend on an anchorage for proliferation.
-
They are subject to contact inhibition which means, they grow as an adherent monolayer and stop dividing when they reach such a density that they touch each other.
-
Most cells except mature hemopoietic cells grow in this way.
-
They need protease treatment to break the bond between cells and substratum.
