Biocompatibility cell attachment

The FBR is increased in the presence of bacteria, a secondary challenge to sensor biocompatibility.3 6 7 Initial bacterial association with an implant surface is quickly followed by more permanent cell attachment through cell surface adhesion... 

The potential utility and biocompatibility of MAP-based adhesives have been addressed in the series of experiments presented here. MAP formulated as Cell-Tak adhesive is an efficient mediator of mammalian, bacterial, and yeast cell attachment. It has also been demonstrated to support normal cell growth in vitro. 

The cell culture tests were used to evaluate both cytotoxicity and cytocom-patibility of the specimens. In the cell culture method, the performance of a cell is investigated by comparing it with a negative control. A control is a sample thoroughly compatible with cells and is cultured with the main samples. A material is considered to be biocompatible, if it supports cell attachment and growth.
