Table 1.
Loading efficiency of IGF1, HGH, and TGF-β1 microspheres (n = 4)
Growth factor | % BSA needed | Loading efficiency |
IGF1 | 0% | 88.95 ± 9.66% |
HGH | 1% | 69.42 ± 12.48% |
TGF-β1 | 3% | 40.68 ± 4.04% |
Growth factors required different concentrations of carrier protein to achieve loading depending on their physical properties.
