AbstractHuman keratinocytes have been cultured on plasma co-polymers (PCPs), self assembled monolayers (SAMs), tissue culture poly(styrene) (TCPS) and collagen I. The degree of keratinocyte attachment was measured over 24 hours and cell proliferation and growth monitored over 7 days using optical microscopy and DNA concentrations. Cell attachment and proliferation and growth on the PCP surfaces were compared with 2 self assembled monolayer (SAM) systems. PCP surfaces containing carboxylic acid functionalities promoted keratinocyte attachment, with optimum attachment levels seen on surfaces containing less than 5% acid groups. The level of attachment on these surfaces was comparable to that seen on collagen I, a preferred substratum for the culturing of keratinocytes. After several days in culture the cells were well attached and proliferative. Keratinocytes attached well to acidterminated SAMs but attached poorly to methyl-terminated SAMs.

<p>We present a reliable method for the fabrication of fluid phase unsaturated bilayers which are readily self-assembled on charged self-assembled monolayer (SAM) surfaces producing high coverage floating supported bilayers where the membrane to surface distance could be controlled with nanometer precision. Vesicle fusion was used to deposit the bilayers onto anionic SAM coated surfaces. Upon assembly the bilayer to SAM solution interlayer thickness was 7-10 Å with evidence suggesting that this layer was present due to SAM hydration repulsion of the bilayer from the surface. This distance could be increased using low concentrations of salts which caused the interlayer thickness to enlarge to ~33 Å. Reducing the salt concentration resulted in a return to a shorter bilayer to surface distance. These accessible and controllable membrane models are well suited to a range of potential applications in biophysical studies, bio-sensors and Nano-technology.</p><br>
