Oligonucleotide and Parylene Surface Coating of Polystyrene and ePTFE for Improved Endothelial Cell Attachment and Hemocompatibility

Figure 11

Hemocompatibility testing of oligonucleotide coated diX AM surfaces. Samples were incubated with human whole blood for 1 h at 37°C under continuous shaking. Cell number and different factors, which give information about the activation of thrombocytes (β-TG), granulocytes (PMN-Elastase) and the coagulation system (TAT) were measured in the supernatant. ANOVA tests revealed no significant difference between the groups (𝑃>0.05,𝑛=6).
