[Plasma protein adsorption on variously treated +polybutylene terephthalate].
BACKGROUND
The aim of the research was the evaluation of plasmatic protein adsorption on untreated polybutylene terephthalate, corona treated polybutylene terephthalate and polyvinylacetate coated corona treated polybutylene terephthalate.


METHODS
Total proteins, albumin, immunoglobulins, fibrinogen, insulin and ostecalcin were determined on plasma after contact with these polymers.


RESULTS
Unsignificant variations were observed for the assayed proteins.


CONCLUSIONS
The conclusions are drawn that the tested materials do not adsorbe significantly the most important plasmatic proteins.
