A quantitative assay for the adhesion of alveolar type II cells: application to the study of epithelial-fibroblast interactions.

A quantitative assay for the adhesion of rat lung epithelial cells has been developed. Cells are adhered to 96 well tissue culture plates and quantitated by their reaction with monoclonal antibodies to cytokeratin in an enzyme linked assay. Using this technique we have shown that rat lung alveolar Type II cells preferentially adhere to a fibroblast monolayer. There was no preferential adhesion of epithelial cells to fibroblast secreted matrix or to the separate components of alveolar matrix.

Facial paralysis with an inflammatory parotid mass.

Facial paralysis in association with a parotid mass is usually associated with a diagnosis of malignancy. Benign parotid neoplasms and inflammatory processes resulting in facial paralysis are extremely rare. This report describes such a case and highlights some of the difficulties surrounding the diagnosis and management of these cases.
