In order to evaluate whether or not polyethylene terephthalate coated with pyrolytic carbon and collagen (PET+PC) favors inflammatory or hyperplastic reactions, the expression of mRNAs specific for interleukin-6 (IL-6), platelet-derived growth factor-A (PDGF-A), PDGF-B, transforming growth factor-1
Leukocyte activation is one test for the evaluation of blood-materials interaction. The expression of adhesion molecules analyzed by flow cytometry provides a simple method to evaluate leukocyte activation by biomaterials: any change in these molecules can be predictive of the inflammatory activity
