Abstract
|
The pattern formation during the reorganization of fibronectin into fibrillar structures by endothelial cells was analysed in a quantitative way. Fibronectin was pre-adsorbed onto a maleic anhydride copolymer surface with a defined bond strength of fibronectin to the substrates in order to support its reorganization. Statistical analysis of quantitative image processing including autocorrelation analysis and single object measurement provided distinct parameters for the characterization of the process of fibronectin fibril formation. Periodicity and overall area of reorganized fibrils, and number of long fibrils are suggested as parameters for describing the impact of the variation of the fibronectinsubstrate bond strength on the fibrillogenesis by endothelial cells.
