The present study describes a novel versatile immobilization system for the modification of implant materials with biologically active molecules (BAMs), e.g. antibiotics or growth factors. Specific adsorbing peptides are used as anchor molecules to immobilize oligodesoxynucleotides (ODNs) on the implant surface (anchor strand, AS). The BAM is conjugated to a complementary ODN strand (CS) which is able to hybridize to the AS on the implant surface to immobilize the BAM. The ODN double strand allows for a controlled release of the BAM adjustable by the ODN sequence and length. The immobilization system was developed and proven on three typical implant materials, namely ZrO2, TiZr and Ti, respectively. The parathyroid hormone (PTH) fragment 1-34 was conjugated to the CS and immobilized on these different implant materials. To investigate the biological activity of the immobilized PTH, alkaline phosphatase was quantified after incubation of the osteoblast precursor cells C2C12 on the modified samples. The results demonstrate the successful immobilization of biologically active PTH (1-34) and the high potential of the established surfaces to achieve an increased osseointegration of variable implants, especially for patients with risk factors.
