Abstract
A number of clinical treatment modalities involve contact between blood and biomaterials: these include extracorporeal circuits such as hemodialysis, cardiopulmonary bypass, plasmapheresis, and intravascular treatments. Common side effects arising from these treatments are caused by activation of the cascade systems of the blood. Many of these side effects are mediated via the complement system, including thromboinflammatory reactions and rejection of implants. Depending on the composition of the materials, complement activation is triggered via all the activation pathways but is by far mostly driven by the alternative pathway amplification loop. On biomaterial surfaces the alternative pathway amplification is totally unregulated and leads under optimal conditions to deposition of complement fragments, mostly C3b, on the surface leading to a total masking of the underlying surface. In this review, we discuss the mechanism of the complement activation, clinical consequences of the activation, and potential strategies for therapeutic regulation of the activation, using hemodialysis as demonstrator.

Abstract
We developed a method to identify proteins adsorbed on solid surfaces from a solution containing a complex mixture of proteins by using Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time of Flight mass (MALDI-ToF mass) spectroscopy. In the method, we performed all procedures of peptide mass fingerprint method including denaturation, reduction, alkylation, digestion, and spotting of matrix on substrates. The method enabled us to avoid artifacts of pipetting that could induce changes in the composition. We also developed an algorithm to identify the adsorbed proteins. In this work, we demonstrate the identification of proteins adsorbed on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Our results show that the composition of proteins on the SAMs critically depends on the terminal groups of the molecules constituting the SAMs, indicating that the competitive adsorption of protein molecules is largely affected by protein-surface interaction. The method introduced here can provide vital information to clarify the mechanism underlying the responses of cells and tissues to biomaterials.

Abstract
Biomaterials upon implantation are immediately covered by blood proteins which direct the subsequent blood activation. These early events determine the following cascade of biological reactions and consequently the long-term success of implants. The ability to modulate surface properties of biomaterials is therefore of considerable clinical significance. Goal of this study was an in-depth understanding of the biological response to cobalt chromium stent alloys with engineered surface oxide layers, which showed altered body reactions in vivo. We analyzed in vitro the biological events following initial blood contact on engineered cobalt chromium surfaces featuring said oxide layers. Surface-specific blood reactions were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and the adsorbed protein layers were characterized by mass spectrometry. This powerful proteomics tool allowed the identification and quantification of over hundred surface-adhering proteins. Proteins associated with the coagulation cascade, platelet adhesion and neutrophil function correlated with the various blood surface activations observed. Furthermore, results of pre-coated surfaces with defined fibrinogen-albumin mixtures suggest that neutrophil adhesion was controlled by fibrinogen orientation and conformation rather than quantity. This study highlights the importance of controlling the biological response in the complex protein-implant surface interactions and the potential of the surface modifications to improve the clinical performance of medical implants. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The blood contact activation of CoCr alloys is determined by their surface oxide layer properties. Modifications of the oxide layer affected the total amount of adsorbed proteins and the composition of the adsorbed protein layer. Additionally fibrinogen coatings mediated the surface-dependent neutrophil adhesion in a concentration-independent manner, indicating the influence of conformation and/or orientation of the adsorbed protein. Despite the complexity of protein-implant interactions, this study highlights the importance of understanding and controlling mechanisms of protein adhesion in order to improve and steer the performance of medical implants. It shows that modification of the surface oxide layer is a very attractive strategy to directly functionalize metallic implant surfaces and optimize their blood interaction for the desired orthopedic or cardiovascular applications.

Abstract
Upon contact with bodily fluids/tissues, exogenous materials spontaneously develop a layer of proteins on their surface. In the case of biomedical implants and equipment, biological processes with deleterious effects may ensue. For biosensing platforms, it is synonymous with an overwhelming background signal that prevents the detection/quantification of target analytes present in considerably lower concentrations. To address this ubiquitous problem, tremendous efforts have been dedicated over the years to engineer protein-resistant coatings. There is now extensive literature available on stealth organic adlayers able to minimize fouling down to a few ng cm(-2), however from technologically irrelevant single-protein buffered solutions. Unfortunately, few coatings have been reported to present such level of performance when exposed to highly complex proteinaceous, real-world media such as blood serum and plasma, even diluted. Herein, we concisely review the surface chemistry developed to date to minimize fouling from these considerably more challenging blood-based fluids. Adsorption dynamics is also discussed.

Abstract
We have quantified surface associated coagulation of human blood plasma with a recently developed methodological system consisting of a Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring (QCM-D), a method that measures the weight of adsorbed molecules on surfaces as a function of frequency shifts of a quartz crystal. Further, it measures the damping energy (i.e. viscoelasticity) of the adsorbed layer. Four different surfaces where studied: Heparin (Hep) surface as an active inhibitor of clot formation, titanium (Ti) surfaces that are known to activate the intrinsic pathway, polystyrene (PS) surfaces and poly(urethane urea) (PUUR) surfaces. The experiments were initiated by applying citrated human plasma at the sensor surfaces; calcium was then added toinitiate coagulation. The Hep surfaces showed no apparent indication of clot formation during one hour of incubation at room temperature. However, on Ti surfaces we observed an early and rapid change in both frequency shift and viscoelastic properties of the coagulating plasma. We inhibited the intrinsic pathway activation by using corn trypsin inhibitor (CTI), which is specific for factor FXIIa in the bulk phase, which prolonged the coagulation times for all non-heparinized surfaces. We have also found a peculiar initial plasma protein interaction phenomenon on Ti surfaces. The described methodology would be very efficient for basic studies of surface associated coagulation and as a screening method for new biomaterials.

Abstract
The synthesis of a series of thiols containing phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated serine, threonine, and tyrosine amino acid residues is described. The synthesized molecules, based on 3-mercaptopropionic acid, were assembled onto gold and subsequently characterized using infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy, ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and contact angle goniometry. The ellipsometric analysis indicates that they form densely packed and well-oriented monolayers on gold, with thicknesses that are in good agreement with estimated values from space-filling models. The bulky and space-demanding phosphorylated threonine analog was, however, found to be an exception. The increase in layer thickness when adding a phosphate group to the threonine is only 35% of that observed for the two other analogs. A detailed infrared examination of the influence of cation coordination to the phosphorylated serine analog using calcium and magnesium reveals structural similarities to those of the inorganic phosphate compound calcium hydroxy apatite. We furthermore discuss the application of these monolayers as soft templates for biomineralization.

Abstract
In haemostatic and biomaterial research biological processes at surfaces and in the bulk phase of the surface-contacting medium are important. The present work demonstrates the usefulness of the combination of surface plasmon resonance (SPR), sensitive to changes in refractive index at surfaces, and free oscillation rheometry (FOR), sensitive to rheological properties of the bulk, for simultaneous real-time measurements on coagulation and fibrinolysis of blood plasma and coagulation of whole blood. SFLLRN stimulated coagulation of native whole blood presented a higher SPR signal with different appearance than plasma coagulation, while the FOR signals corresponding to plasma and whole blood coagulation were similar. This indicated that the SPR technique was more sensitive to cell-surface interactions than to fibrin formation in whole blood during coagulation, while the FOR technique were equally sensitive to coagulation in whole blood and plasma. Spontaneous coagulation of native whole blood in contact with methyl- and hydroxyl-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAM) on gold and gold surfaces regenerated after coagulation were also studied. The regenerated gold surfaces displayed the shortest coagulation times, although the contact-activation of blood coagulation for these surfaces was low. The methylated and hydroxylated surfaces were comparable in terms of coagulation activation, while the hydroxylated surfaces presented FOR signals that indicated detaching of the coagulum from the surface. The combination of SPR and FOR is well suited for studies of cell- and protein-surface interactions and simultaneous bulk processes. Possible applications are investigations of blood cell defects in patients and monitoring of native whole blood interactions with artificial surfaces.

Abstract
Gold-coated polyurethanes were chemisorbed with three cell-adhesion peptides having an N-terminal cysteine: cys-arg-gly-asp (CRGD), cys-arg-glu-asp-val (CREDV), and the cyclic peptide cys-cys-arg-arg-gly-asp-try-leu-cys (CCRRGDWLC). The peptides were selected based on their presumed preferential interactions with the cell-surface integrins on vascular endothelial cells. The ability of the surfaces to support the preferential adhesion of human vascular endothelial cells was studied by comparing in vitro adhesion results for these cells with those from mouse 3T3 fibroblasts. Surface modification with the peptides was confirmed by water-contact angles and XPS. Surface morphology was determined by AFM and SEM. In vitro cell-culture studies in conjunction with plasma-protein adsorption and immunoblotting were performed on the various modified surfaces. The data suggest that peptide-modified surfaces have significant potential for supporting cell adhesion. Little or no cell adhesion was noted on gold- or cysteine-modified control surfaces. Human vascular endothelial cells showed the greatest adhesion to the CCRRGDWLC-modified surfaces, and the 3T3 fibroblasts adhered best to the CREDV-modified surfaces. Protein adsorption studies suggest that the preferential adsorption of the cell-adhesive proteins fibronectin and vitronectin is not likely mediating the differences noted. It is concluded that the cell-adhesive peptide-modified gold-coated polymers have significant potential for further development both as model substrates for fundamental studies and for use in biomaterials applications.

Abstract
The role of complement activation by artificial surfaces relative to inflammatory response is not well understood. This study was performed to evaluate the inflammatory cell recruitment, distribution, and ex vivo metabolic activation of surfaces with different plasma protein adsorption and complement activation properties in vitro. The implants were (1) pure gold (reference), (2) albumin-precoated (3) IgG-precoated gold, and (4) 3-mercapto-1, 2-propanediol [mercaptoglycerol (MG)] and (5) glutathione (GSH) immobilized to gold. The implant disks were inserted subcutaneously in rats for 24 h, and the number of inflammatory cells that were recruited to the implant adjacent to the surrounding fluid phase (exudate) and the surfaces were quantified by DNA measurements. The oxidative burst was analyzed ex vivo using spontaneous and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-stimulated, luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence (CL). The in vitro surface-induced anti-rat C3 binding was evaluated by ellipsometry and antibody techniques after plasma incubations for 1 and 30 min. The ellipsometric results showed that immobilized mercaptoglycerol and IgG-coated, but not the immobilized glutathione or the reference Au, bound anti-C3. The in vivo results revealed that the largest amount of cells was associated with the IgG-coated surfaces, followed by immobilized GSH and MG, albumin-coated, and gold surfaces, respectively. No spontaneous ex vivo luminol-enhanced CL was recorded from the cells irrespective of surface functionality or localization. A down-regulation of surface-associated and exudate leukocyte CL was observed ex vivo, irrespective of surface functionality. The results do not indicate a clear relationship between the degree of complement activation in vitro and leukocyte recruitment and adhesion in vivo for differently functionalized surfaces.

Abstract
Hydroxylated and methylated surfaces were prepared by the self-assembled monolayer technique (SAM) of alkane thiols on gold. The surfaces were used to evaluate the influence of implant surface chemistry on protein deposition and inflammatory cell response. Implants were inserted subcutaneously in the rat for 3 and 24 h. The surface chemical properties influenced the in vitro rat plasma protein adsorption (ellipsometry/antibody) with few exceptions (albumin not found and fibrinogen always found). The number of recruited cells and their distribution (DNA from implant versus from exudate) was influenced by the different chemistries at 24 h, but not at 3 h. HIS48+, ED1+, ED2+ and small numbers of CD5+ cells were present in the exudate at both time periods (flow cytometry). The cellular oxidative metabolism was low, although cells on -OH surfaces responded with the highest phorbol ester-stimulated chemiluminescence (CL)/DNA. The levels of cytokines IL-1alpha, IL-1beta and TNFalpha (ELISA) were not influenced by material surface chemistry. Sham operated sites had a higher cytokine concentration/DNA compared with exudates from an implant milieu. The results of this study show that surface chemical functionalization modifies specific events in the inflammatory response around implants in soft tissues.

Abstract
Monolayers of glutathione (GSH) and 3-mercapto-1,2-propanediol (MG) on gold were tested for their bioreactivity by assessing the degree of inflammatory reaction as manifested by the adherence and activation of platelets and white blood cells (wbc) after exposure to blood ex vivo. Surface composition was characterized by XPS, and noncontact optical profilometry was used to determine surface roughness. The thickness and composition of the adsorbed protein layers were measured by ellipsometry/antibody techniques in vitro. Cell adhesion and activation were quantified by acridine orange staining, fluorescein-diacetate staining, and by specific antibodies against cell membrane antigens. Distinct differences among the surfaces were observed relative to the amounts and composition of adsorbed plasma proteins and the adhesion and activation of platelets (CD62P-exposure) and wbc (CD11b/CD18-exposure). GSH surfaces, which adsorbed the least amount of plasma protein, caused the least adherence and activation of platelets (CD62P), followed by the highest activation of wbc (CD11b/18). The MG surfaces caused a rapid recruitment and activation of platelets (CD62P), followed by a lower activation of wbc (CD11b/18). Thus it appears that measurements of the initial adsorption of plasma protein from anticoagulated plasma and of the adhesion and activation of platelets after 8 min of exposure to whole blood cannot be used to predict accurately the adhesion and activation behavior of inflammatory cells after longer periods (2 h) of exposure on different surfaces.

Abstract
The early inflammatory reaction in vivo to three well defined surfaces-gold, gold coated with glutathione (GSH), and 3-mercapto-1, 2-propanediol (MG)-was assessed as manifested by the adherence and activation of inflammatory cells during implantation intraperitoneally in mice. Evaluation of cell adhesion and activation was done by immunohistochemistry using specific monoclonal antibodies directed against cell differentiation antigens CD11b/CD18, CD74, and CD25 or by measurement by chemoluminescence of reactive oxygen radical species produced by adhering cells. Cell recruitment and activation was slow on the GSH-coated gold surfaces. These surfaces also had the highest percentage of adhering cells with an intact cell membrane. The MG-coated surfaces, on the other hand, rapidly recruited and activated cells and also caused cell membrane leakage to propidium iodide, suggesting cell membrane damage or cell death. The respiratory burst of adhering cells was stimulated by phorbol-myristate acetate on the GSH-coated surface but not on the MG-coated surface and by opsonized zymosan on the Mg-coated surface but only to a small degree on the GSH-coated surface. The respiratory burst following zymosan activation of cells adhering to the MG-coated surface was inhibited by treatment with 2. 3-diphosphoglycerate, a phospholipase D inhibitor. The presented data suggest that peritoneal leukocytes adhering to foreign materials may raise a respiratory burst response via a phospholipase D-dependent and protein kinase C-independent pathway.

Abstract
The role of complement activation may be important during the early interactions between implantable materials and blood and during the acute inflammatory phase, but it is not well understood. This applies especially to rats that are extensively used in in vivo animal models for materials and surface testing. Features of the kinetics of rat complement activation were studied and compared with human complement by the ellipsometry and antibody techniques. The results indicate that the rat classical pathway is rapidly activated, but it is not as fast as the human system. The activation of the alternative pathway was observed within 5 min in the rat system and within 15 min for the human. Thus, the observations indicate substantial differences in the kinetics between the two species. This may influence the choice of the rat experimental model and the tissue response to materials during in vivo conditions.

Abstract
In order to evaluate the biological response induced by true methyl and hydroxyl surfaces, alkane thiols were immobilized onto gold. Initial protein adsorption from human plasma was measured in vitro by ellipsometry-antibody techniques and in vivo surface-cell interactions were evaluated in rat subcutaneous tissues for time periods ranging between 1 and 28 days. Rat mononuclear cells were studied after culturing (24 h) on the surfaces. Plasma protein experiments revealed deposition of fibrinogen onto the pure gold and the methylated surface. The hydroxylated surface tended to release the surface-associated proteins tested for by antibodies. None of the in vivolin vitro models used showed differences between the hydroxyl and methyl surfaces for spontaneous or augmented cell hydrogen peroxide and interleukin-1 alpha secretions. However, the different surface chemistries markedly affected the distribution of the cells that were recruited to the interfaces (cells in the fluid space and surface-associated DNA content on the retrieved implants) at late and early time periods. The results indicate that different implant surface properties, such as chemical functionality and hydrophobicity, influence specific events in the inflammatory cell response, and ultimately the wound healing around implantable materials.

Abstract
To evaluate the importance of protein adsorption and chemical composition of the solid surface on complement activation, we used mercaptoglycerol (MG) and mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) modified gold surfaces as model surfaces. The complement activation by these surfaces was determined by measuring fluid phase iC3b and C5b-9 in serum that had been in contact with the surfaces. In addition, "active" C3 deposition at the modified surfaces was measured with the use of ellipsometry, an optical technique. It was found that the MG surface caused pronounced productions of iC3b and C5b-9 in serum as well as increased C3 deposition on the surface. In contrast, the bare gold surface and the MPA surface caused very little complement activation. The MG surface seems to have a high affinity with immunoglobulin G (IgG) that may be one explanation for the high complement activation ability of the MG surface. However, complement activation at the MG surface was relatively insensitive to Mg-EGTA buffer at a high serum concentration, indicating alternative pathway activation when classical pathway activation was inhibited. Corresponding control experiments performed with Mg-EGTA serum at hydrophobic silicon surfaces precoated with IgG showed no sign of alternative pathway activation. At a lower serum concentration, classical pathway activation seemed to dominate at the MG surface and the hydrophobic silicon surface precoated with IgG. Most probably, it is the hydroxyl groups at the MG surface that are associated with alternative pathway activation.
