The use of plastic materials for routine cell culture on the laboratory scale was introduced at the end of the 1960s, and some characteristics of glass surface, such as hydrophobicity and negative charge, were maintained in these materials. Polystyrene is the most widely used plastic material for animal cell adhesion at present, because of its surface characteristics, its low cost, and also its transparency. For more demanding cell lines, the surface has to be submitted to a treatment that involves coating with proteins such as poly-lysine, poly-ornithine, or extracellular matrix-derived proteins such as fibronectin, laminin, and collagens. 

Select proteins that mediate adhesion of specific anchorage-dependent cells (such as osteoblasts, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells) on substrate surfaces have been identified (Underwood and Bennett, 1989 Thomas et al., 1997 Ayad et al, 1994). For example, adsorption of fibronectin and vitronectin on tissue-culture polystryene subsequently enhanced osteoblast, fibroblast, and endothelial cell adhesion (Underwood and Bennett, 1989). More importantly, fibronectin and vitronectin adsorption on borosilicate glass, in a competitive environment, maximized fibroblast and osteoblast adhesion, respectively (Thomas et al., 1997). Ayad et al. (1994) reported that enhanced adsorption of laminin on tissue-culture polystyrene promoted subsequent endothelial cell adhesion. These studies provided evidence that adsorption of specific protein(s) can, subsequently, control select cell adhesion on material surfaces.
