A. Wilke et al., A HUMAN BONE-MARROW CELL-CULTURE - A SENS ITIVE METHOD BY JUDGMENT OFTHE BIOCOMPATIBILITY OF MATERIALS, WHICH ARE USED IN ORTHOPEDIC-SURGERY, Zeitschrift fur Orthopadie und Ihre Grenzgebiete, 133(2), 1995, pp. 159-165
The objective of the study was to develop a test system to determine t
he cytotoxicity and biocompatibility of different biomaterials used in
orthopedic surgery. This system was based on the use of a human bone
marrow cell culture and the purpose was to find a screening method as
a alternative to early animal experimental methods. The established hu
man bone marrow cell culture has certain advantages when compared with
other cell culture models. The result demonstrated a high conformity
with animal experimental results.
