Abstract

The effects of the selected growth factors on the proliferation and morphology of adult canine articular chondrocytes through monolayer expansion and subsequent growth in type II collagen-glycosaminoglycan (CG) matrices were investigated. It was found that there were notable differences in the monolayer growth comparing the fetal bovine serum (FBS) and FBS+three growth factors (3GF) media. It was observed that all pellets displayed intensive glycosaminoglycan (GAG) staining throughout with no discernable difference between the two groups. It was also observed that the cells expanded in monolayer in FBS+3GF produced more GAG and type II collagen in the CG matrices.
