Activity of Phosvitin in Hydroxyapatite Acid-Damage Immersion and Antimicrobial Assays

Figure 1

Extent of formation of calcium phosphate pellets in the presence of phosvitin. A calcium phosphate pellet assay was used to determine the effect of phosvitin or phosvitin digests on the extent of pellet formation. The amount of calcium retained in the pellet was determined using the alizarin red assay.
