Abstract

Protein adsorption studies on modified surfaces were carried out using human fibrinogen. The radiolabeled protein yield was typically greater than 95%. The extent of both initial protein adsorption and retention was remarkably independent of surface morphologies over the 5 to 100 nm mean roughness employed. However, protein adsorption was observed to be significantly affected by the nature of surface chemistry.
