title: [Plasma protein adsorption on variously treated +polybutylene terephthalate].
abstract: 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.
