Flow Cytometric Analysis for Floating CellsProtocol 1. We usually use Fisher tubes or equivalents as reaction tubes for all step described below. 1) Detach the cells from culture dishes by tripsinization. 2) Stop the trypsinization by adding medium containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS). 3) Wash the cells 3 times with washing buffer [PBS containing 2% fetal calf serum (FCS)and 0. 1% NaN3]. 4) Add 10 µL of normal goat serum to the cell pellet after tapping. Mix well, and incubatefor 5 minutes at room temperature (20~25°C). 5) Add 30 µL of the anti-mouse integrin alpha-7 monoclonal antibody (6A11) (10-20 µg/mL)diluted with the washing buffer. Mix well, and incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature(20~25°C). 6) Add 1 mL of the washing buffer followed by centrifugation at 500xg for 1 minute at roomtemperature (20~25°C). Remove supernatant by careful aspiration. 7) Add 30 µL of secondary antibody (1: 40 FITC conjugated anti-mouse IgG diluted with thewashing buffer. Mix well and incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature (20~25°C). 8) Add 1 mL of the washing buffer followed by centrifugation at 500xg for 1 minute at roomtemperature (20~25°C). Remove supernatant by careful aspiration. 9) Resuspend the cells with 500 µL of the washing buffer and analyze by a flow cytometer.

Sujet
The integrin family of adhesion molecules participate in important cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions in a diverse range of biological processes. Integrins are heterodimers consisting of an alpha subunit and a beta subunit. Both alpha and beta subunits are transmembrane proteins with large extracellular domains (>100 kDa for alpha subunit and >75 kDa for beta subunit) that interact with extracellular matrix proteins and relatively small cytoplasmic domains (50 amino acids or less, except for the beta-4 subunit) that interact with cytoskeletal proteins. The adhesiveness of integrins is dynamically regulated in response to cytoplasmic signals, termed
