Abstract

In this study, two kind of water-soluble photoreactive polymers were utilized for cell patterning. These polymers were spincoated onto the substrate covered with collagen. The substrates were then irradiated by the UV light (365 nm) through the quartz photomask. After water development, micropatterned- polymeric surfaces were obtained. Bovine aortic endothelial cells were seeded onto the surface and all of the cells were adhered only onto the collagen-exposure domains. The results of hepatocyte culture onto the surface, Az-8-PEG is rather effective for inhibition of non-specific adhesion of the hepatocytes. Cells culture on collagen(+) micropatterned surface were maintained for a long period.
