It was,found that a copolymer with an NVP-content of 30% (NVP30) supports growth of human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) cells and inhibits fibroblast growth under serum-containing conditions. Cell proliferation of HaCaT cells was measured over 14 days. If both cell types were cultured under serum-free conditions for initial adhesion over 6 h on these NVP30 polymers, they adhered to the same extent. Long-term experiments over 7 days were performed as a coculture of both cell types showing that HaCaT cells had a growth advantage that seems to be related to the paracrine activity of contaminating fibroblasts. As a result, confluent layers of HaCaT cells were obtained with small numbers of remaining fibroblasts. The new poly,[acrylonitrile-co(NVP) membranes seem to be a promising culture system for the production of epidermal,transplants.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1089/ten.2006.0442} (DOI).
