Abstract
The configuration of BSA macromolecules adsorbed on the surfaces of poly(alkylcyanoacrylate) nanoparticles has been determined using small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The nanoparticles were made by anionic emulsion polymerization (AEP) and self-assembly of dextran-poly(isobutylcyanoacrylate) (PICBA) copolymers. They have a hydrophobic PICBA core and a hydrophilic dextran corona. In vivo, they are recognized by the macrophages of the mononuclear phagocyte system. The amount of BSA bound to the particles, at adsorption equilibrium, has been determined through immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis, and SANS. For particles with a radius of 25.3nm, the adsorption was found to saturate at 64 adsorbed BSA molecules per particle. The configuration of the adsorbed BSA molecules was determined from the SANS scattering curves, first at full contrast, and then at contrast match. Both experiments indicate that the BSA molecules are adsorbed on the PICBA core, in a flat configuration. This result may be important for understanding the in vivo opsonization mechanisms of nanoparticles and their resulting biodistribution.
