GLYCOSAMINOGLYCAN/COLLAGEN COMPLEXES AND USE THEREOF

摘要

It is intended to construct environment similar to an extracellular matrix b y combining a GAG polymer with a cell adhesion protein such as collagen to thereby provide novel materials whereby the differentiation and proliferatio n of cells can be controlled. Glycosaminoglycan functional polymer/protein complexes characterized in that a glycosaminoglycan functional polymer, whic h has a sugar chain containing a structure corresponding to at least a part of the basic skeleton of glycosaminoglycan introduced into the main chain of a vinyl-type polymer, is carried on a cell adhesive protein; and cell culture materials and tissue regeneration materials containing these complexes.
