The effect of fibronectin and its fragments on (a) HUES7 and (b) HUES1 cell growth in terms of increase in cell number, when cultured over a period of 96 h. Error bars are standard errors from the mean, where n = 3, at least triplicate samples were used in each of three separate experiments. Fibronectin, 120 kDa and F3 were used at a coating concentration of 10 µg ml⁻¹, whereas all other fragments were used at 160 µg ml⁻¹. HUES1 cell growth was only tested on fibronectin, 120 and 70 kDa fragments, following results from (a).
