Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the adhesion force of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) on different substrate materials. The single micropipette aspiration technique was used for measuring the adhesion force of single EPC on the substrate material, including gelatin, antibody VEGFR-2 and antibody CD133. The adhesion force of human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC/EC) on each substrate material was measured in the control groups. Results showed the adhesion characters of EPCs on the three substrate materials were better than that of HUVECs. And at the same time, the adhesion force of EPCs to antibody CD133 was the strongest among the three substrate materials.
