Adhesion of corneal epithelial cells to cell adhesion peptide modified pHEMA surfaces
Abstract
Epithelialization of a corneal implant is a desirable property. In this study we compared surface modification of poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) with the cell adhesion peptides RGDS and YIGSR. Various parameters in the tresyl chloride activation and modification reactions were considered in order to maximize surface coverage with the peptide including tresyl chloride reaction solvent. tresyl chloride reaction time, tresyl chloride …
