ABSTRACT

A culture filtrate of the higher Basidiomiycetes mushroom Coprinus domesticus (Boll.: Fr.) S. F. Gray and an enzyme preparation from another mushroom. Flammulina velutipes (Curt.: Fr.) P. Karst., were used for treating polymer materials for the purpose of producing thromboresistant features on its surface. During in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo experiments a possibility of making thromboresistant artificial polymer vessels via immobilization of surface enzyme agents from higher Basidiomycetes was demonstrated.
