Abstract
To characterize the CMK11-5 subclone of a human megakaryocytic leukemia cell line (CMK), an ultrastructural study on adhesion was performed. The CMK11-5 cells showed irreversible attachment to rabbit aortic subendothelium accompanied by several morphological changes such as flattening and the spreading out of pseudopodia. These morphological changes are similar to those observed in normal platelets during attachment. The attachment of CMK11-5 cells to rabbit aortic subendothelium indicates that human megakaryocytes may possess an adhesion function like that of platelets. The CMK cell line and its CMK11-5 subclone with megakaryocytic properties appear to be useful for studying the function of megakaryocytes.
