Abstract
Asymmetric patches of polyhydroxybutyric acid with one smooth and one rough surface were produced by a dipping procedure. These patches were implanted into the rat gastrointestine and tissue samples were generated at distinct time intervals after surgery. The host's response towards the foreign material was analyzed by Differential Display and RNA profiles were compared to each other. One to two weeks after surgery a group of mRNAs encoding pancreatic enzymes was transiently present after biomaterial implantation.
