Non-covalent phosphorylcholine coating reduces protein adsorption and phagocytic uptake of microparticles

2015

Garapaty, Anusha | Champion, Julie A.

Phosphorylcholine co-polymer was assembled on model polystyrene microparticles through a simple, widely-applicable ethanol coating process. The coating rendered particles resistant to protein adsorption and phagocytosis by macrophages, making it useful for a range of biological applications.
