Improve cell attachment by using cell culture surfaces coated with Corning human fibronectin (HFN) surface. HFN is produced by a wide variety of mesenchymal and epithelial cells, and is present in both the ECM and plasma. Cell adhesion to fibronectin is mediated by the central cell-binding domain of FN through RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) amino acid sequence. The principal functions of fibronectin appear to be in cellular migration during wound healing and development, regulation of cell growth and differentiation, and haemostasis/thrombosis.

Fibronectin
Characteristics and Applications
Applications
| Suitable as a thin coating on tissue culture surfaces to promote attachment, spreading and proliferation of a variety of cell types. It can also be used as an additive to serum-free culture medium.
Specific applications include: • Integrin and cell-surface HSPG-mediated binding of fibronectin-null fibroblasts
