Rabbit lymph node cell populations cultured in vitro in the presence of fetal calf serum are induced to produce immunoglobulin M-secreting cells. The induction of such immunoglobulin production, measured by the capacity of the cell population to secrete immunoglobulins, was inhibited when cells were cultured with sera from a variety of species despite the presence of fetal calf serum. The addition of such inhibitory serum 36 hours after initiation of the cell culture or thereafter was without effect on the extent of induction of immunoglobulin production. On the other hand, the presence of inhibitory serum in culture during only the first 24 hours yielded the same inhibition as when serum was present throughout the 72-hour culture period. Inhibitory sera also suppressed the incorporation of thymidine into DNA. The induction of immunoglobulin production and the incorporation of thymidine into DNA were essentially equally inhibited by the same range of serum concentrations. Unlike conventional inhibitors of DNA synthesis, the inhibitory sera exhibited selective specificity with regard to the kind of cells that could be affected. Thus, such sera inhibited the DNA synthesis of lymph node cells cultured in the presence of fetal calf serum but did not inhibit concanavalin A-stimulated DNA synthesis of such cultured cells and, similarly, serum did not inhibit DNA synthesis of thymus cells cultured in the presence of fetal calf serum. The sera of all species examined were inhibitory except for fetal sera. As judged from a quantitative assay, bovine and porcine serum contained the highest titer of inhibitor, whereas sera from human, rat, mouse, and rabbit were clustered in a group exhibiting less inhibitor. Ascites fluid and lymph node extracellular fluids contained less inhibitor than found in the serum of the same animal and lysates of washed lymph node cells were devoid of inhibitor. Although fetal bovine serum and newborn bovine serum did not contain the inhibitor, it was detectable within 24 hours of parturition. The inhibitor is of relatively large apparent molecular weight (about 300,000) and has been purified about 70-fold.  相似文献

Cells of the human erythroleukemia cell line K562 constitutively secrete a factor that inhibits human T lymphocyte proliferation induced via CD3/Ti. The factor, termed K-TIF (K562-derived T cell inhibitory factor) is produced in either the presence or absence of fetal calf serum in cultures of K562 cells and can be precipitated by 70% NH4SO4. Gel filtration chromatography on Superose 12 resin by FPLC showed that the inhibitory factor has a molecular weight of approximately 30-35 kDa. A protein of this size, metabolically labeled with [35S]methionine, specifically bound human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Chromatofocusing with Mono P by FPLC (pH gradient 7.2-5) indicates that the inhibitory factor has an isoelectric point of 6.0-6.4.  相似文献

Preplating human adherent peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) for up to 24 hr results in a progressive decrease in their basal PGE release, and in the loss of their ability to increase PGE release during a subsequent 72-hr coculture period with allogeneic human thyroid cells. Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) present during a 24-hr adherent-cell preplating period prevents, in part, the loss of this PGE response to thyroid cells. These data indicate that adherent cells require continual stimulation by the thyroid cells or by PHA in order to maintain their ability to increase PGE secretion in response to thyroid cells.  相似文献

The interactions of ganglioside GM1 with human and fetal calf sera were studied, the following main results being obtained: (a) GM1, upon incubation with both sera gave origin to two GM1-protein complexes, which also occurred after interaction of GM1 with the albumin fractions prepared from the same sera. Instead no complex formation occurred using the albumin-free fractions. Therefore GM1 appeared to specifically bind serum albumin and to form GM1-albumin complexes. (b) GM1 binding to serum albumin started at ganglioside concentrations surely micellar (above 10?6 M), was time and concentration dependent, and resulted in a relevant degree of GM1 complexation (up to 80% of total GM1 in human serum and up to 18% in fetal calf serum). (c) the binding kinetics appeared, in both serum and the correspondent albumin fraction, to be biphasic: in the first phase, occurring till about 2 · 10?4 M GM1, the ratio between bound and total GM1 increased linearly with increasing GM1 concentration; in the second phase, occurring above 2 · 10?4 M, the ratio remained practically constant. After these findings it should be expected that GM1, when present in serum containing systems, forms complexes with albumin. This should be appropriately considered when studying the effects of exogeneous GM1 in in vivo and in vitro (tissue cultures) systems.  相似文献

Summary Both phytohemagglutinin-induced cytotoxicity and recombinant-interleukin-2 (rIL-2)-induced lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity against noncultured melanoma cells were significantly reduced when peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients with metastatic melanoma were incubated in RPMI medium 1640 and 10% autologous human serum instead of 10% fetal calf serum, while serum from either healthy donors or patients with primary melanoma did not affect the level of cytotoxicity. The serum-mediated suppression was not restricted by major histocompatibility complex and was time-dependent. Addition of 10% human serum from the patients with metastatic melanoma [HS-Pt(m)] to the culture of PBMC with rIL-2 at the same time or 1 day after incubation significantly inhibited LAK activity. However, addition of 10% HS-Pt(m) 2 or 3 days after incubation did not inhibit LAK activity. Incubation of PBMC for 2 h with a high dose (104 U/ml) of rIL-2 in the presence of 10% HS-Pt(m), followed by incubation in the absence of either rIL-2 or HS-Pt(m), did not affect LAK cell activity. These results suggest that HS-Pt(m) inhibits the early stage of LAK cell differentiation, rather than the binding of rIL-2 to PBMC or a later stage in the differentiation. In contrast to PBMC, monocyte-depleted peripheral blood lymphocytes exhibited comparable levels of LAK activity when cultured with rIL-2 either in 10% fetal calf serum, 10% human serum from healthy donors or 10% HS-Pt(m). Addition of purified autologous monocytes to the culture of monocyte-depleted peripheral blood lymphocytes with rIL-2 suppressed LAK cell induction when 10% HS-Pt(m) was present. Thus serum-mediated suppression of LAK cell induction is largely dependent on the presence of monocytes, which may produce a secondary inhibitor that acts on lymphocytes. Addition of indomethacin to the culture did not reverse this monocyte-dependent serum-mediated suppression in a majority of cases, suggesting that prostaglandin E2 does not have a major role in the suppression.This work was supported in part by NIH grant RR5511-25 and grants from The Council for Tobacco Research USA Inc., The Meadows Foundation, the Erwin Zaban Melanoma Research Foundation, and the Gillson-Longenbaugh Foundation  相似文献

Human MCF7 breast tumor cells grew as estrogen-dependent tumors in nude mice. In contrast, they were not estrogen-dependent for proliferation in serumless culture media. Charcoal-dextran stripped female human serum supplemented media (5% to 40%) inhibited their proliferation in a dose dependent pattern. Estrogens reversed this inhibition. Concentrations of 2% of this serum allowed for maximal yield regardless of the presence of estrogens. Charcoal-dextran stripped fetal bovine serum was also inhibitory but less potent than the human serum. Non-estrogenic steroids, insulin, epidermal growth factor and transferrin failed to overcome the inhibitory effect of human serum. These results suggest that 1) human and bovine sera contain an inhibitor of the proliferation of estrogen-sensitive cells, and 2) estrogens promote cell proliferation by neutralizing this serum-borne inhibitor.  相似文献

The production and release of prostaglandins (PGs) into the growth medium by established cultures of neoplastic, mammary epithelial cells derived from (a) N-nitrosomethylurea (NMU)-induced and (b) 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary tumors, was assessed using radioimmunoassay techniques. Prostaglandin production was determined, to a considerable extent, by in vitro conditions and the tumor line analyzed. In medium supplemented with bovine calf serum (10%), NMU cells synthesized and released nanogram quantities of PGE2, PGE1, and PGF2 alpha (6.7, 4.7, and 1.7 ng/10(6) cells per 48 h, respectively). Concentrations of the two stable protanoid metabolites, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TXB2, were indistinguishable from controls. In cells derived from the DMBA-induced tumor (RBA cells), no net production of immunoreactive PGs was detected. In contrast, in media supplemented with fetal bovine serum (10%), both RBA and NMU cells synthesized and released nanogram quantities of PGE2 (1 and 4 ng/10(6) cells per 48 h, respectively). PGE2 production by both NMU and RBA cells was inhibited by ibuprofen, an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (EC 1.14.99.1). The pattern of PG inhibition by ibuprofen differed in the two cell lines. In NMU cells, a linear dose-response inhibitory pattern was discernable, whereas in RBA cells a biphasic pattern was observed; PGE2 levels increased at low concentrations of ibuprofen and then decreased at higher concentrations. At 100 micrograms/ml ibuprofen, PG synthesis and release was inhibited by 90 and 100% and cell growth by 64 and 66% in NMU and RBA cells, respectively. There was no obvious dose-response relationship between ibuprofen concentration and cell growth inhibition in either cell line. These results underline the importance of the serum component of growth medium when analyzing PG production in vitro and suggest that the epithelial cell components of experimental mammary tumors are capable of producing physiologically relevant amounts of PGS.  相似文献

Various sources and components of mammalian sera were evaluated for their ability to maintain or inhibit sperm motility. Human, rabbit, hamster, and porcine sera were equal in ability to maintain motility of human sperm. Four sources of fetal calf serum and one source of neonatal calf serum were unable to maintain motility of human sperm or sperm-fertilizing potential. In the presence of human serum, fetal calf serum actually inhibited human sperm motility. Fetuin, a component of fetal calf serum, contained the inhibitory activity. An inhibitory effect of fetuin on porcine and caprine sperm motility was also observed. The inhibitory activity resided in the second peak when fetuin was separated by isoelectric focusing. The sperm head membranes remained impermeable to dye, and mitochondrial membrane potential was maintained after motility had been reduced to almost zero by incubation with fetuin and fetuin fractions. Fetuin or the active portion of the molecule may be a useful component of a vaginal contraceptive and in research where inhibition of motility is desirable.  相似文献

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a potent inhibitor of immune functions. Two possible mechanisms of PGE2-mediated suppression have been proposed: one is a direct inhibitory effect exerted on interleukin 2-producing T cells; the second is mediated by the activation of nonspecific suppressor T lymphocytes. We previously showed that PGE2 can directly activate human T lymphocytes to suppress lymphocyte proliferation and B lymphocyte maturation. Herein is described the binding of 10 to 30% of human peripheral blood T lymphocytes to insolubilized PGE2 coated to albumin-Sepharose. The T lymphocytes that bound PGE2 (PGE2(+] could be eluted by the addition of serum and gentle shaking of the beads. The following data indicated the specificity of the binding: i) T lymphocytes after an overnight incubation, a condition known to abolish sensitivity to PGE2, lost their affinity for PGE2; ii) preincubation of T lymphocytes with PGE2 blocked the binding; iii) PGE2(+) T cells bound PGE after a 24-hr incubation, whereas PGE2(-) T cells did not. Few T cells bound albumin, and only a small percentage (7 to 9%) bound 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha-coated beads. Among PGE2(+) T cells, there was a slight increase in the percentage of OKT8+ cells. Although T cells that had no affinity for PGE2 (PGE2(-] proliferated as well as unseparated T lymphocytes when stimulated with mitogens or antigens, the proliferative response of the PGE2(+) subset was poor. Moreover, PGE2(+) T lymphocytes did exert a strong suppressor activity on mitogen- or allogeneic cell-induced lymphocyte proliferation as well as on pokeweed mitogen-driven B cell maturation into Ig-containing cells. PGE2(-) T lymphocytes were shown not to exert a significant suppressor activity in these assays. The PGE2(+) subset-mediated suppression was not secondary to a carry-over of PGE2 released from the beads, because its suppressor activity was not altered by the addition of an anti-PGE2 serum. Moreover, PGE2(-) T lymphocytes were not sensitive to the inhibitory activity on cell proliferation of PGE2. These results indicate that a given functional subset of peripheral blood T lymphocytes binds PGE2, and that at least some of them are activated into suppressor T cells. The relationship between the PGE2-activatable T suppressor subset and other functionally defined suppressor T cells remains to be clarified; it is suggested, however, that PGE2 can act as an immunoregulator through the activation of identifiable suppressor T cells.  相似文献

Granuloma reaction around Schistosoma mansoni eggs is the prominent lesion in human schistosomiasis. Studies have suggested the involvement of a series of suppressive mechanisms in the control of this reaction. Using an in vitro model of granuloma formation, we have shown that immune complexes (IC) isolated from sera of chronic intestinal schistosomiasis patients were able to reduce granulomatous reaction developed against soluble egg antigen-conjugated polyacrylamide beads. In this system, the role of the l-arginine-nitric oxide (NO) pathway in the formation of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients infected with schistosomiasis was investigated using IC. Preincubation of PBMC with IC produced a significant increase of both nitrite and PGE(2) levels in the cell supernatant. This effect was inhibited by coincubation of cells with Nomega-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a NO synthase inhibitor, showing that the release of PGE(2) subsequent to IC stimulation was driven by NO. The inhibitory effect of L-NAME on PGE(2) release by IC-treated PBMC was reversed by sodium nitroprusside, a known NO donor. Our results indicate that NO could be an important second signal for the stimulation of PGE(2) production induced by IC in PBMC from human schistosomiasis patients.  相似文献

Summary When primary cultures of hepatocytes are exposed to media containing fetal bovine serum (FBS) there is a rapid decrease in levels of tissue-specific mRNAs such as albumin mRNA. We used Northern blot analysis to examine mRNA levels in cultured hepatocytes, and characterized the factor in FBS that significantly reduces the steady state albumin mRNA level. Neonatal bovine serum or serum derived from platelet-poor calf plasma proved as potent as did FBS, but commercial bovine serum albumin did not exhibit this inhibitory activity. Inhibitory activity of FBS was not removed by moderate heat treatment, dialysis, or extraction with organic solvents. However, incubation of FBS with a highly anionic detergent such as 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate orN-lauroyl sarcosine, followed by extensive dialysis, resulted in sera that did not inhibit expression of albumin mRNA. These sera supported cell attachment and seemed non-toxic toward the cells. Ammonium sulfate fractionation of FBS showed the activity was present in the 45 to 70% fraction, and trypsin digestion destroyed the inhibitory activity. Gel exclusion chromatography gave a molecular weight 60 000 to 70 000. Fractionation of serum proteins by DEAE-Sephacel or Cibacron blue-agarose showed enrichment for albumin in the most active fractions. Interestingly, metabolic labeling of secreted and cellular proteins with35S-methionine and cysteine showed no significant difference between hepatocytes maintained for 2 days beforehand in serum-free or serum-supplemented media, and no difference between detergent-treated FBS and control FBS. Therefore, FBS contains a factor that causes a significant decrease in steady state levels of mRNA for albumin and other mRNAs of tissue specific function, but under these conditions albumin mRNA levels are not paralleled by synthesis of albumin or other proteins.  相似文献

When L-1210 murine leukemia cells were incubated with 60 microM PGE2 in culture medium containing fetal calf serum for various time, cell proliferation was inhibited dependent on incubation time. However, when the medium containing PGE2 was changed every 6 h during 24 h exposure to cells, growth inhibition became much weaker. Moreover, when the medium containing PGE2 was aged by preincubating without cells at 37 degrees C, growth inhibitory effect of the medium was enhanced with preincubation time, suggesting that active growth inhibitory compound(s) accumulated during preincubation. In culture medium containing fetal calf serum, PGE2 degraded time-dependently and the major product was identified as PGA2 by HPLC. Furthermore, when cells were incubated with the medium containing 60 microM[3H]PGE2 or the same medium aged by preincubation, we observed that the radioactivity was taken up by the cells time-dependently, and identified the incorporated radioactivity as PGA2. This uptake was closely correlated with decrease in viable cell number during incubation. These results suggested that growth inhibitory effect of PGE2 was due to the metabolic dehydration of PGE2 to PGA2, and PGA2, after taken up by cells, exerted cell growth inhibition.  相似文献

Pigeon milk, a nutritive secretion from the crop of breeding pigeons, was tested (on v/v basis) for growth factor activity either separately or in combination with other growth supplements. Synthesis of DNA in confluent monolayers of quiescent Chinese hamster ovary cells was enhanced by the homogenates of pigeon milk in the presence of both fetal bovine serum and bovine serum albumin, although the response with fetal bovine serum was greater than that with bovine serum albumin. The in vitro growth stimulation by pigeon milk was also reflected in the increase in cell number. Specific activity of pigeon milk growth factor, measured against both Chinese hamster ovary cells and mouse embryo fibroblasts, was found to be higher than that of fetal calf serum, fetal bovine serum, and goat, horse, pig and human serum. The growth-stimulatory property of pigeon milk did not change in the first 5 days of its secretion.Abbreviations BSA bovine serum albumin - CHO Chinese hamster ovary cells - DMEM Dulbecco's modified minimum essential medium - DNA deoxyribonucleic acid - EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid - EGF epidermal growth factor - FBS fetal bovine serum - FCS fetal calf serum - GF growth factor - GS goat serum - NIH/3T3 mouse embryo fibroblasts - PBS phosphate-buffered saline - PDGF platelet-derived growth factor - PM pigeon milk  相似文献

The response of mammalian cells to Pseudomonas and diphtheria exotoxins was studied. A method was developed whereby the sensitivity of cells to these two toxins could be quantitated. The method is versatile and can be used to study the effects of toxins on many cellular metabolic or transport processes. The type of serum used in the culture medium significantly influenced the response of cells to the toxins. Calf, horse, and human sera protected cells while fetal calf serum did not. Precipitation with (NH4)2SO4 demonstrated the probable presence of toxin-specific antibody in the protective calf serum while none was detected in the nonprotective fetal calf serum. The level of antibody in calf serum, as titrated by hemagglutination, was sufficient to account for all the observed protection. It is suggested that fetal calf serum be used for all future cell culture studies of bacterial toxins.  相似文献

It has been shown previously that a soluble factor(s) from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells was capable of specifically suppressing collagen synthesis by normal human dermal fibroblasts (S. A. Jimenez, W. McArthur and J. Rosenbloom, J. Exp. Med.150, 1421, 1979). In this communication, the cell sources and the conditions for synthesis of this collagen synthesis inhibitory factor (CSIF) are identified. CSIF production by mononuclear cells was directly related to the number of cells in culture and was significantly enhanced by a variety of mitogens and by antigens. Homologous serum or bovine serum albumin was required for CSIF production and maximal levels were reached 48 hr after stimulation. Thymus-derived lymphocytes appeared to be the main cells responsible for CSIF synthesis but B lymphocytes also produced the factor in response to proper B-cell mitogens. Preparations of plastic-adherent mononuclear cells were also found to produce increased CSIF but it was not possible to exclude completely the presence of T lymphocytes in these preparations and therefore, the cell source of CSIF in these preparations was not clearly established. Through the use of metabolic inhibitors it was shown that CSIF production required de novo protein synthesis but not cell division. Indo-methacin had no effect on either the production of CSIF or on CSIF-mediated inhibition of collagen synthesis. The results indicate that CSIF has the classic characteristics of a lymphokine and suggest a mechanism by which the immune response could modulate connective tissue function.  相似文献

A factor required for spreading of substratum-attached baby hamster kidney cells (BHK), Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, HeLa cells, and L cells has been isolated and purified from fetal calf serum. A similar factor has also been found in calf, porcine, human, rabbit, and chicken sera. The spreading factor was active when adsorbed to the substratum and prior adsorption of other proteins prevented cell spreading, regardless of the addition of spreading factor or unfractionated serum to the incubation medium. Antibody against the fetal calf spreading factor inhibited the spreading activity associated with unfractionated fetal calf serum and also the spreading activity associated with calf serum and porcine serum. In model system studies it was found that antibody against BHK cell surfaces induced cell spreading when the antibody was adsorbed to the substratum; when it was present in the incubation medium as well as on the substratum, cell spreading was not observed. The data are discussed in terms of the hypothesis that there is a specific serum factor which adsorbs to the substratum surface and is thereby activated, and which then forms the target for certain cell surface receptors. Interaction between adsorbed-activated factor and cell surface receptors leads to cell spreading.  相似文献

Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) activated with Con-A release a soluble factor which augments the expression of class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens by a variety of tumour cells. Previous attempts to purify this factor called MHC-activating factor (AF) (MHC-AF) made us realize that the presence of large numbers and quantities of irrelevant fetal calf serum proteins in the culture supernatants of the activated human PBMCs, interfered with the purification procedure. It was therefore necessary to standardize the use of a serum free culture medium to generate human MHC-AF. In the present communication we have tried several types of culture media and have identified DCCM-2 as the most suitable culture medium to generate human MHC-AF. MHC-AF generated in DCCM-2 medium appears to be a protein molecule resistant to pH 2 treatment but sensitive to heat treatment (56°C × 45 min) and treatment with proteolytic enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin.  相似文献

The effect of polyamines on cell culture cells   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Growth of KB cells was inhibited by both spermine and spermidine, but the inhibition is reduced in conditioned medium. The amount of spermine required for 50% inhibition of plating varied according to the type of serum used with medium 199 (calf, fetal bovine, and horse; 0.55, 0.9, and 24 μg/ml respectively). The spermine oxidase activity of the three sera was calf > horse > fetal bovine, which is not the same ordering as was obtained for the inhibition. When the concentration of sera in the media was varied, the inhibition decreased as calf and fetal bovine sera concentration increased, whereas, with horse serum, an increase in serum concentration increased the inhibition. The opposite effects of increasing concentrations of the sera on the inhibition suggest that at least two factors are involved in the inhibition. A scheme which involves three factors (spermine oxidase, another enzyme and its activator) is postulated to account for the inhibitions and reversals observed. Spermine oxidase alone cannot account for the action of polyamine on cells.  相似文献

Cultured dog thyroid cells were used to investigate the mechanism by which previous exposure to thyrotropin (TSH) induces refractoriness to further TSH stimulation of cellular adenosine 3'-5'-monophosphate (cAMP). Refractoriness of the cAMP response to TSH could not be overcome by exposure of the cells to supramaximal stimulatory concentrations of TSH. Although an unknown factor present in human and fetal calf serum was found to inhibit the thyroid cell cAMP response to TSH, this factor could not account for refractoriness because refractoriness could be induced in the absence of serum. Induction of thyroid refractoriness did not appear to be related to cellular concentrations of cyclic AMP, because equal refractoriness was produced by TSH alone or TSH plus the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, 3-isobutyl-1-methyl xanthine. In addition, preincubation of thyroid cells in 10(-4) M cAMP did not result in subsequent refractoriness. Recovery from the refractory process required almost 24 h. Short term (15 min) stimulation with TSH did not produce thyroid cell refractoriness, and reversal of the stimulation was obtained by thorough washing of the cells. Long term TSH stimulation (16 h), however, resulted in both supramaximal cAMP response to TSH, and inclusion of TSH together with cycloheximide did not produce refractoriness. Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity in thyroid cell homogenate was unaltered by TSH or dibutyryl cyclic AMP pretreatment of the cells for up to 24 h, or cycloheximide for up to 4 h. In contrast, TSH-stimulated, but not F--stimulated, adenylate cyclase activity was reduced in thyroid cell homogenates after preincubation of the cells in TSH. Refractoriness to TSH stimulation was not associated with an alteration in the binding of 125I-TSH to cultured thyroid cells. These studies suggest that the thyroid cAMP response to TSH is modulated by an inhibitory mechanism dependent upon new protein synthesis. TSH stimulation itself increases the degree of this inhibition through a mechanism not involving cAMP.  相似文献

Serum is known to inhibit the merocyanine 540 (MC540)-sensitized photoinactivation of cells and enveloped viruses in a concentration-dependent manner. In diagnostic applications of MC540, a moderate amount of serum or serum albumin is frequently added to the staining solution because it enhances the contrast between intensely staining cells (e.g., electrically excitable cells or leukemia cells) and cells with a lower affinity for the dye (e.g., nonexcitable cells, red cells, normal leukocytes). In this communication we report on a quantitative analysis of the interactions of MC540 with serum and serum components. Human serum inhibited the MC540-sensitized photoinactivation of K562 leukemia cells most effectively, followed in order of decreasing potency by calf, newborn calf, horse, and fetal bovine serum. The photoprotective capacity of these five sera was directly proportional to their albumin content. Gel filtration experiments and differential spectroscopy showed that MC540 bound to serum albumin and lipoproteins. Both delipidated and lipidated albumin were capable of binding MC540. However, lipidated albumin had a considerably higher binding capacity and affinity for dye molecules.  相似文献
