Description
Summary:Substrate effects of surface morphology and chemical structure for cell cultures prepared by molecular terminal immobilization method were studied. When we focused attention on a phenyl group as a functional moiety, the cell growth on the surface prepared by the immobilization method showed a better proliferation rate than that of a substrate prepared by the casting method. Further, from the results of mouse fibroblast L929 cell (L‐cell) growth on poly(amino acid)‐immobilized surfaces in Dulbecco's minimal essential medium containing 10% FBS, it was indicated that the amino group was more effective than the phenyl group, and that a slight difference of chemical structure had a substantial influence on cell growth. In addition, mouse bone marrow–derived Sp2/0‐Ag14 cell (Sp2/0 cell) culture in ASF‐104 serum‐free medium, poly(amino acid)‐immobilized substrates showed an almost equal proliferation rate to that in a serum‐containing medium. These results showed that effective cell growth can occur on immobilized surfaces, and that detection of a weak interaction depends on the functional groups. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
