We investigated the realized patterns by indirect immunofluorescence and atomic force microscopy (AFM), in order to assess their uniformity, the well-retained antigenicity of the proteins, and their supramolecular structural organization (Fig.1). We have demonstrated both the characteristic protein self-assembling in polygonal networks with well-defined sub-100 nm quaternary structures of laminin and that this result is strongly dependent on the LN-1 initial concentration. Currently, we are studying the interaction of these patterned substrates with cultured cells. | | ISBN: | 0-9767985-0-6 |
