Confluency (%) of transformed HCE-T (a) or primary HLE (b) cell cultures after 1-hour or 72-hour growth on BMSF films pretreated with ECM proteins at 5 μg/mL. Values represent mean + SEM (HCE-T: ; HLE: ). An asterisk indicates that the value is significantly different () from that obtained using uncoated (control) BMSF.
