Platelet Adhesion and Fibrinogen Accretion on a Family of Elastin-Like Polypeptides
Abstract
Previous work in our laboratory showed the potential of using a human recombinant elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) as a thromboresistant coating. In this work we investigate the use of three particular ELPs (ELP1, ELP2 and ELP4), that differ by molecular weight and number of repeating hydrophobic and cross-linking domains, as coatings to improve blood-contacting properties. All three ELPs were passively adsorbed on Mylar surfaces. Differences in …
