Human serum enrichment and effects on primary cell growth. (A) Human serum protein concentration following HC absorption; (B) human MSC (mesenchymal stem cells) proliferation; (C) human PBMC (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) proliferation. MSCs and PBMCs were cultured in the presence of 10% human enriched serum, optimized for cell culture compatibility. Naïve serum values were used for normalisation. B2000 (bovine HC; mean molecular weight 2kDa); F2000 (fish HC; mean molecular weight 2kDa); P2000 (porcine HC; mean molecular weight 2kDa) and P5000 (porcine HC; mean molecular weight 5kDa). Groups with significant differences (p < 0.05) are indicated with different letters (a and b).
