Enhancement of human osteoblast proliferation and phenotypic expression when cultured in human serum.

Abstract excerpt

Traditionally, culture medium is supplemented with foetal bovine serum (FBS). However, in cultures of osteoblasts intended for human re-implantation, such serum presents potential risks of foreign protein contamination and transmission of viral or prion-related material, if used. We cultured human osteoblasts from 16 patients in 10% autologous human serum, 10% pooled human serum, 10% FBS or 2% Ultroser G....
