the observations that beads adhered normally to surfaces of cytochalasin b- and of pcmbs-treated cells and that shear-stress induced deformation was increased whereas phagocytosis was markedly inhibited , suggest that deformation of cells around beads associated with ingestion depends on some form of cellular ( contractile ? ) activity , whereas deformation of cells by fluid shear stress is a passive phenomenon .
