The invention provides an agent for conferring resistance comprising a lectin as an effective component, which are able to confer resistance against external stimuli to animal cells, particularly mammalian cells, and to their cultured cells and various tissues in the living bodies. The agent for conferring resistance to external stimulus according to the invention can confer to such animal cells and/or tissues resistance against mechanical stimuli and/or proteolytic reactions, and thereby enhance graft fixation of the cells and/or tissues, as well as transplant tissues obtained by culturing them.

Agent imparting resistance to external stimuli

A method of cleaning of an inorganic filler, upon which the inorganic filler used in resin materials for industrial or biological use, particularly dental resin restorative materials, can be more firmly bound to a resin matrix as a substrate, as well as a method of surface processing of the inorganic filler, are provided. The inorganic filler surface is cleaned with an aqueous solution of a peroxo acid and/or a peroxo acid salt, washed with water, and then cleaned with an organic solvent. Further, the cleaned inorganic filler is subjected to a silane coupling processing, thereby the inorganic filler being processed.
