Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Fused with Tandem Collagen-Binding Domains from<i> Clostridium histolyticum </i>Collagenase ColG Increases Bone Formation

<div>In vitro proliferation activity of poly(Pro-Hyp-Gly)<sub>10</sub>/bFGF and poly(Pro-Hyp-Gly)<sub>10</sub>/CB-bFGFs. Cultured periosteal mesenchymal cells stimulated with poly(Pro-Hyp-Gly)<sub>10</sub>/bFGF, poly(Pro-Hyp-Gly)<sub>10</sub>/bFGF-s3, poly(Pro-Hyp-Gly)<sub>10</sub>/bFGF-s2b-s3, poly(Pro-Hyp-Gly)<sub>10</sub>/bFGF-s3b, or poly(Pro-Hyp-Gly)<sub>10</sub>/bFGF-s3a-s3b. The constructs induced periosteal mesenchymal cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Cell numbers were quantified two days after treatment.
