title: [Adsorption of human serum proteins to titanium dioxide].
abstract: In order to find an in vitro biochemical model for investigation of osseointegration in terms of dental implantology, the aim of the present study was to analyse the adsorption of human serum proteins to titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide powder was suspended in human serum. After incubation and centrifugation the TiO2 with the adsorbed proteins were washed with distilled water, ethylendiaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) supplemented with ammonium hydrogencarbonate (NH4HCO3) solution, and sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS), after centrifugation the supernatant fluid was collected and SDS polyacrylamide gel and native (Biomidi) gel electrophoresis were conducted to determine the type of the adsorbed proteins. Our results show, that albumin was adsorbed to TiO2, but it could be easily removed. The adsorption of a 94 kDa protein was much stronger than the other proteins. The method seems to be useful in the investigation of the protein adsorbing ability of differently treated titanium implant surfaces.
