## Abstract To characterize the effects of adherent macrophages and biomaterial surface chemistries on lymphocyte adhesion and activation, lymphocytes were coβcultured with monocytes alone and together, directly and separated by a porous membrane transwell on hydrophobic, hydrophilic/neutral, hydro

A long-standing goal of biomedical device development has been the generation of specific, desired host blood and tissue responses. An approach to meeting this design criteria is precise surface modification that creates micropatterns of distinct physicochemical character to direct cell adhesion and
## Abstract Monocyte and macrophage adhesion and foreign body giant cell (FBGC) formation has been observed on surfaces with a wide range of properties. In this study we have utilized novel, temperatureβresponsive surfaces (TRS) with dynamic surface properties to investigate inflammatory cell adhes
A homologous set of alkylsilane-modified glass surfaces with chain lengths ranging from methyl to octadecyl was prepared in order to examine the influence of alkyl surface chemistry on macrophage adhesion and foreign body giant cell (FBGC) formation. Contact angle and X-ray photoelectron spectroscop
A cytokine-based, in vitro model of foreign body giant cell (FBGC) formation was utilized to examine the effect of biomaterial surface chemistry on the adhesion, motility, and fusion of monocytes and macrophages. Human monocytes were cultured for 10 days on 14 different silane-modified glass surface
The membrane poly-N-acetyllactosamines participate in the control of the adhesivity of macrophages and/or monocytes. They have been visualized by FITC labelled tomato lectin in macrophages and multinucleate foreign body giant cells colonizing a cellophane implant in this study. The maximal positivit
