Abstract
To study the role of osteopontin,,ve did cell adhesion and ALP assays of rat bone marrow osteoblastic cells (RBMO) on collagen Type I and os teopontin surfaces. The RBMO proved to adhere much more strongly to th e osteopontin and to have higher ALP activity on the osteopontin, whic h suggests that pre-osteoblasts differentiate into osteoblasts that fo rm bone by recognizing osteopontins.
