Adsorption of serum albumin on silica--the influence of surface cleaning procedures

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science
Olof Svensson, T Arnebrant

Abstract

The objective of the investigation was to study how different surface cleaning procedures affect the subsequent adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on silica. Ellipsometry was used to monitor the adsorbed amount and thickness of the protein films in situ at physiological buffer conditions. Plasma treatment was found to effectively reduce the amount of BSA on silica and on surfaces cleaned with hydrogen peroxide solutions (RCA method) adsorption was essentially absent. On clean silica surfaces the ellipsometric data furthermore suggest that a depletion zone is present at the surface where the BSA concentration is lower than in the bulk solution. Additional experiments showed that calcium did not promote the adsorption of BSA and that the adsorption of human serum albumin (HSA) is essentially absent on clean silica surfaces in agreement with the results obtained for BSA. The presented work contributes to the general understanding of protein adsorption as well as provides information on how to control serum albumin adsorption on silica based biomedical devices.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
