TLDR
It is reported that strains of uropathogenic E. coli bind to the basement membrane protein laminin, which is a glycoprotein with Mr 900 000 serves as a substrate mediating the attachment and spreading of different eucaryotic cells.About:

Mapping of domains in human laminin using monoclonal antibodies: localization of the neurite-promoting site.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the neurite-promoting site may be contained in or close to the 400-kD component of laminin, which is also the site for heparin binding.

Laminin receptors on Candida albicans germ tubes.
TL;DR: C. albicans possesses germ tube-specific surface receptors for laminin which could mediate its attachment to basement membranes and so contribute to the establishment of candidiasis.

TL;DR: Results indicate that interaction of fungi with extracellular matrix elements may constitute a basis for the evolution of fungal infection toward regional spreading and dissemination.

TL;DR: It appears that fibronectin, laminin, and Type IV collagen can bind and aggregate certain gram-positive bacteria, and this binding is dependent on the surface characteristics of the organism.

TL;DR: Investigation of a large noncollagenous glycoprotein isolated from a mouse tumor that produces basement membrane shows that it is produced by a variety of cultured cells, suggesting that this protein or an immunologically related protein is a constituent of the basement membranes of these tissues.

Role of laminin in the attachment of PAM 212 (epithelial) cells to basement membrane collagen
TL;DR: Measurements of the attachment of the PAM 212 line of mouse epithelial cells to various collagen substrates show that these cells adhere preferentially to type IV, basement membrane collagen, which suggests that lamin is produced and utilized by these epithelium cells to attach to basement membranes collagen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purification of fibronectin from human plasma by affinity chromatography under non-denaturing conditions.
TL;DR: It is proposed that the method would be useful in preparation of fibronectin for studies on its biological activities, where it is important that the protein is obtained in a native state.

Fibronectin binds to Staphylococcus aureus.
TL;DR: The affinity of fibronectin to cell surfaces extends to the prokaryotic cell Staphylococcus aureus, and is reported on for the first time.

Ultrastructural localization of fibronectin and laminin in the basement membranes of the murine kidney
TL;DR: Affinity-purified rabbit antibodies specific for two large noncollagenous gycoproteins--laminin and fibronectin--were used to study the distribution of these proteins in normal murine kidneys, with results suggesting that laminin is found uniformly distributed throughout tubular basement membranes, the mesangial matrix, and Bowman's capsule.
