The cultivation of bone marrow cells and various cell lines on polymer films

The cultivation of multipotent mesenchymal stromal bone marrow cells (BM-MSC) and A-431, MDCK, Vero, 3T3 and Hep-G2 lines of cells was performed in DMEM medium using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer films as scaffolds. PVA was modified by covalent linking of various hydrophobic fatty acids. Different cell types exhibited different growth intensity on these films, which, however, in most cases was comparable with control cultivations on plastics.
