<p>The present invention is directed to a process for coupling an adhesive glycoprotein to a surface of a bulk material comprising the following steps: a) a layer of a volatile aldehyde is deposited to the surface of the bulk material from a gas plasma atmosphere, b) the layer so formed on the bulk material is contacted with a cell-adhesive glycoprotein having amino groups, c) the coupling of the amino groups of the glycoprotein to the carbonyl groups of the deposited aldehyde layer is strenghthened by transforming the primarily formed -CH=N- bonds in the presence of a reducing agent into -CH2-NH-bonds; and to a cell growth material comprising a bulk material having at least one surface to which a cell adhesive glycoprotein having amino groups is coupled characterized in that said amino groups are covalently bonded to aldehyde groups of a layer of a volatile aldehyde, deposited to the surface of said bulk material from a gas plasma atmosphere, via first formed -CH=N- groups which have been transformed into -CH2-NH- groups in the presence of a reducing agent.</p> |
