Figure 5. Comparison between pure Ti and sintering Ti on the adhesion/proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells. (A) SEM images showing cells cultured on the Ti plates (left) and fibronectin-coated Ti plates (right). (B) Viable cell number was determined from the absorbance values obtained by WST-1 assay and is represented as % of control. The white columns represent O2– production, black columns represent proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Values are mean±SE for 5 wells. The reproducibility was confirmed by one additional experiment.
