Abstract
Previous study showed that octacalcium Phosphate (OCP) enhances bone formation and accumulation of circulating serum proteins on its surface if implanted in bone defect. In this study, serum proteins accumulated on OCP and hydroxyapatite (HA) in vitro were analyzed by proteomic approaches using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). 139 proteins were detected from OCP surface in total. 46 of them were indentical to the proteins accumulated on HA. The difference in the proteins found could be a potential factor to display the distinct osteoconductive nature between OCP and HA.
