Quantification of the Release Kinetics of 14C-HB-IGF-1, 125I-PDGF-BB, and 125I-TGF-β1 from KLD Hydrogels

Growth factor Inline graphic(days) Release at 4 days Release at 2 weeks
14C-HB-IGF-1 1.62 86% 95%
125I-PDGF-BB 3.50 58% 83%
125I-TGF-β1 6.20 16% 30%

The characteristic release time, τ, for each growth factor was determined by fitting a first-order exponential of the form f = a(1-e−bt) to the data shown in Figure 7, where τ = 1/b.
