It has been determined by means the light transmission technique that bacterial cells E. coli induce the aggregation of rat thymocytes. The process of intercellular aggregation is blockaded by D-mannose. The aggregation activity of bacterial cells is decreased after their inactivation by UV-irradiation or high temperature (80 °C). The mechanisms and the application possibilities of the intercellular aggregation are discussed.References
