Abstract
The effect of anionic carboxylate groups in copolymers of 2-hydroxyeth yl methacrylate with sodium methacrylate on the adsorption of albumin, adhesion, spreading and fusion of macrophages has been demonstrated. The results show an inhibitory effect of increasing concentration of c arboxylate groups of polymers on all studied parameters.
