Anorganic Bone Matrix ABM) Is a Material Commonly Used in Bone

question 1

Multiple Choice

Anorganic bone matrix ABM) is a material commonly used in bone grafts. Scientists compared ABM with ABM- peptide. The peptide that was bound to ABM was 15 amino acids long, derived from the extracellular matrix molecule, collagen. The researchers found that anchorage- dependent cells were more likely to adhere to and grow on the ABM- peptide than on ABM alone. What conclusion might be drawn from this research?

• A) The peptide would have no effect on the success of the bone graft.
• B) Attaching the peptide to ABM enhances the likelihood of success of the bone graft.
• C) Anorganic bone matrix is not an effective material for use in bone grafts.
• D) The immune system is more likely to reject the ABM- peptide than the ABM.
