Cell Surface Membranes of Animal Cells as the Sites of Recognition of Infectious Agents and other Substances

  • Chapter
Specificity in Plant Diseases

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSA,volume 10))

Abstract

Contacts between the cell surface and extracellular substances such as peptide hormones or antigens are of prime importance in the activation of target cells and the triggering of a defined biological response, for example antibody production in sensitized lymphocytes. Similar contacts are important in intercellular communication and play an integral role in the complex differentiative processes associated with embryogenesis and tissue reorganization. The cell surface must display a large variety of complementary sites that are recognized by other cells and by biologically active effector substances.
