Figure 3 Biocompatibility of the polymer nanocomposites. (A) Resting moDCs were cultured for 24 hours on the surface of the prepared, UV-sterilized polymer nanocomposites in the presence or absence of LPS. At the end of incubation, cells were harvested to measure the viability of moDC by flow cytometry. (B) A number of cultured human Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC 6475 bacteria on the investigated materials. CFU=colony forming units (bacteria with the ability to proliferate). Mean values were calculated from 3 independent experiments with duplicates +SD.
