dc.description.abstractThe use of in vitro and in vivo models to study inflammatory responses is extremely common in the pre-clinical evaluation of implantable materials and anti-inflammatory drugs. In this body of work we performed comparative studies of the inflammatory responses elicited by different biomaterials when interacting with cells in the implanted host. The results demonstrate first the non-equivalence between immortalized cell lines and primary-derived cell types in the inflammatory response and second temporal effects on differences in responses. Additionally, differences between in vivo and in vitro models are clearly demonstrated, and potential differences between our in vivo and other published models are seen. The results obtained from this comparative study will help to explain many discrepancies found between previous studies reported in the literature.
