PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF CYTOCOMPATIBILITY OF PEARLS OF PINCTADA MARTENSII / 中国海洋药物

ABSTRACT

This paper reports the results of cytotoxicity test of pearls of Pinctada martensii in vitro. The results of relative growth rate (RGR) and observation of cell morphology by putting up extracted solution of pearl powder in culture flask of L929 cell show that pearls of Pinctada martinsii are cytocompatible. The RGR of pearls of Pinctada martensti is lower than that of hy-droxyapatite.
