since the growth of fibroblasts requires that these cells be attached to an extracellular support , the current study was designed to determine if the interaction between the fibroblast attachment factor fibronectin and the c1q component of complement could support fibroblast attachment and growth and thus could form a basis for the attachment of fibroblasts in abnormal tissue locations in those inflammatory states where c1q is bound .
