Figure 2

Schematic illustration of cell adhesion and proliferation kinetics identifying quantitative parameters that can be extracted from measurement of number of attached cells (expressed here as percentage of (viable) cell inoculum; %I) with time. %Imax is the maximum percentage of a cell inoculum that adheres to a surface from a sessile cell suspension and t1/2 measures half-time to %Imax. The proliferation rate (k) and cell-number doubling time (td) measure viability of attached cells (adapted from ref. [60]).
