Abstract

A composition for forming a polymeric cell culture surface includes (i) a pre-polymer comprising a polymer backbone, a cationic moiety conjugated to the backbone, and a cross-linker moiety conjugated to the backbone; and (ii) a peptide-polymer comprising a polymer backbone and cell adhesive peptide conjugated to the backbone. Cross-linked coatings for cell culture that have a suitable amount of cell adhesive peptide and cationic moiety may be formed from the pre-polymer and peptide-polymer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A composition for forming a polymeric cell culture surface comprising:
a pre-polymer comprising a polymer backbone, an amine cationic moiety conjugated to the backbone wherein the amine cationic moiety results from polymerization of a monoalkylaminoalkyl (meth) acrylate, N-tert-butylaminoethyl (meth)acrylate, or a dialkylaminoalkyl (meth)acrylate monomer selected from the group consisting of N,N-dimethylaminoethyl(meth)acrylate, N—N-diethylaminoethyl (meth) acrylate and N,N-dipropylaminoethyl (meth) acrylate, and a cross-linker moiety conjugated to the backbone; and
a peptide-polymer comprising a polymer backbone and cell adhesive peptide conjugated to the backbone.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amine cationic moiety conjugated to the polymer backbone results from the polymerization of a monomer into the pre-polymer, wherein the monomer is selected from the group consisting of an N,N-dimethylaminoethyl(meth)acrylate, an N,N-diethylaminoethyl (meth)acrylate, and an N,N-dipropylaminoethyl (meth)acrylate.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the amine cationic moiety conjugated to the polymer backbone results from polymerization of a 2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DMEMA) monomer to form the pre-polymer.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the pre-polymer further comprises a hydrophilic moiety conjugated to the polymer backbone of the pre-polymer.

5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the hydrophilic moiety conjugated to the polymer backbone results from polymerization of a monomer into the pre-polymer, wherein the monomer is selected from the group consisting of 2-carboxyethyl methacrylate, 2-carboxyethyl acrylate, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, hydroxypropyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, glycerol methacrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate, 2-carboxyethyl acrylamide, acrylamidoglycolic acid, N-(hydroxymethyl)acrylamide, N-[Tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]acrylamide, 3-acryloylamino-1-propanol, N-acrylamido-ethoxyethanol, and N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide.

6. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the hydrophilic moiety conjugated to the polymer backbone results from polymerization of a 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) monomer to form the pre-polymer.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the cross-linker moiety is a benzophenone moiety.

8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the cell adhesive peptide comprises an R-G-D sequence.

9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the cell adhesive peptide is a sequence of amino acids found in vitronectin, laminin, bone sialoprotein, collagen, or fibronectin.
