Retention of the structure and function of heparan sulfate biomaterials after gamma irradiation by Smith, Raymond A. A., Chua, R. J. E., Carnachan, Susan M., Tan, Clarissa L. L., Sims, Ian M., Hinkley, Simon F. R., Nurcombe, Victor, Cool, Simon M.

“…When HS3 was gamma irradiated, no significant effect on binding affinity toward BMP2 was observed, based on competitive surface plasmon resonance and differential scanning fluorimetry assays. Furthermore, irradiation did not significantly affect HS3's ability to synergistically enhance the osteogenic effects of BMP2 in vitro; as measured by the relative abundance of osteogenic transcripts in transdifferentiating C2C12 murine myoblasts. …”
