Figure 2.  (a) MC3T3-E1 cell viability after 2, 4, 5, and 7 days growing on TCPS plates or on plates coated with BB28, BB47, or Commercial. Cell viability was evaluated by live/dead viability assay kit. Data represent mean±S.E.M. of three independent experiments. (p<0.05, ANOVA, post-hoc Tukey HSD test, * vs. Control). (b) MC3T3-E1 cells were seeded on tissue culture plates coated with BB47 (A), BB28 (B), Commercial (C), and TCPS control plates (D) for 4 days. Live/Dead Viability Assay Kit was used to determine the cell viability (red: dead cells; green: live cells) (colour online). Scale bar 100µm.
