Abstract
An adhesion receptor for laminin is provided. The receptor is isolated from cell or tissue extracts and fractionated on an affinity column composed of cell attachment-promoting fragments of laminin coupled to Sepharose.TM. in the presence of divalent cations. This receptor can be used to prepare specific antibodies for the analysis of the amount of laminin receptor expressed by cells and has other applications in cellular and tumor biology.
