Abstract

Biomaterials induce a specific reaction after implantation in the human body. This reaction depends on the chemical and physico-chemical properties of the material as well as on the site and type of implantation. We have used a dynamic model, the parallel-plate flow-chamber, to examine the interactions of different biomaterials with polymorphonuclear neutrophilic cell (PMN) and how these interactions are influenced by protein preadsorption. Our results clearly show that for hydrophobic materials, glass and PE, which induce a prominent adhesion of PMN, the mixture of albumin and fibrinogen induces the best inhibitory effect. On hydrophilic biomaterial surfaces, untreated TCPS and PC-coated TCPS, reveal only a minor influence of adsorbed proteins on PMN adhesion because of a primary low adhesive surface for PMN and proteins as well. Human citrated plasma leads only to a slight inhibition of PMN adhesion. On the hydrophobic materials, glass and PE, bovine serum albumin (BSA) had the best anti-adhesive potential with respect to PMN. The coating using phosphorylcholine is an excellent surface modification to prevent PMN-adhesion and protein adsorption. The results of our experiments suggest that investigations under static and flow conditions are also needed to determine the influence of protein adsorption on other relevant blood cell populations, for example, platelets and monocytes.
