Aqueous solutions of dextran and of poly(ethylene glycol) when mixed give rise to two-phase systems useful in separating cells, on the basis of their surface properties, by partitioning. Depending on whether salts with unequal or equal affinity for the two phases are chosen, phases with or without an electrostatic potential difference between the phases are obtained. At appropriate polymer concentrations the former yield cell partition coefficients (i.e., the quantity of cells in the top phase as a percentage of total cells added) based on charge-associated surface properties while the latter reflect membrane lipid-related parameters. With increasing cell age, rat erythrocytes have diminishing partition coefficients in both charged and uncharged phases. Using the elevated aspartate aminotransferase levels of younger red cells as a marker, we have now found that young mature erythrocytes of human do not have the highest partition coefficient in the red cell population as they do in rat. Experiments with isotopically labeled dog red cells yield results similar to those found with human erythrocytes. Furthermore, density-separated young and old red cells from human give overlapping countercurrent distribution curves. Finally, counter-current distribution of human red blood cells followed by pooling of cells from the left and right ends of the distribution and subjection of these cells to a redistribution gives curves that overlap with each other and with the original countercurrent distribution. This indicates that not only are human red cells not subfractionated based on possible age-related surface alterations, but also that they are not subfractionated by partitioning based on any surface parameter.These results are consistent with our previous findings that membrane sialic acid/hemoglobin absorbance is essentially constant through the extraction train after countercurrent distribution of human erythrocytes in a charged phase system; and with the recent reports of others that there is no difference in electrophoretic mobility between human young and old red cells. 相似文献

The effect of the tie-line location (phase volume ratio) on the kinetics of phase separation in batch PEG/salt aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) has been investigated. PEG/sulphate systems with a stability ratio (sr) of 0.34 and 0.37 and relative tie-line lengths in the range 0.1 to 0.6 for a continuous top phase and in the range 0.03 to 0.15 for a continuous bottom phase were used in the batch studies. A continuous settler was designed with three different inlet geometries. Phase separation is much faster when the bottom phase is continuous and in this case the location on the tie-line and the presence or absence of Bacillus subtilis extract makes little difference. When the top phase is continuous the relative sizes of the phases (phase ratio, R, relative distance on tie-line, rd) has an important effect, the larger the top phase (larger R and rd) the slower the phase separation. The presence of Bacillus extract also makes the operation slower which is more marked at the largest values of R (and rd). At the largest volume ratios (R or rd) three different settling regions have been recognised, a region of coalescence, a region of drops moving to the interphase and a region where drops queue at the interphase to coalesce into the large phase. A modified correlation that takes into account the location on the tie-line and thus volume ratio (R) and relative distance (rd) has been proposed and successfully tested. The behavior of batch and continuous systems in the presence and absence of Bacillus subtilis extract in systems with continuous bottom phase was also studied. The settling velocity was lower in the continuous than in the batch systems, and in both cases the initial rate was lower in the presence of Bacillus extract. 相似文献

The polarities of the co-existing phases of a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-2000–K3PO4 aqueous biphasic system (ABS) have been examined using Reichardt’s carboxylated pyridinium-N-phenoxybetaine dye as a probe. Using this probe, the polarities of these phases have been compared to those of conventional solvent extraction systems and micellar systems using values obtained from the literature. In general, these extraction systems are comparable in polarity to rather polar solvents. Data on the free energy of transfer of solvents suggests that this may be due to the failure of the probe to account for the real polarity of the salt-rich phase compared to the polymer-rich phase. Examination of the monophasic region of these systems suggests that the reason for this is that the probe is partitioned to a discreet solvent domain dominated by PEG, even though phase separation of the solution is not observed. The use of linear free energy relationships for the characterization of ABS is briefly discussed. 相似文献

It has previously been shown that by appropriate manipulation of polymer concentrations and ionic composition and concentration one can select whether charge-associated or lipid-related membrane surface properties are reflected by cell partition in dextran-poly(ethylene glycol) aqueous two-phase systems (Walter, H. (1977) in Methods of Cell Separation ((Catsimpoolas, N., ed.), Vol. 1, pp. 307–354, Plenum Press, New York). In the current experiments we have studied the partition behavior of human erythrocytes and found that not only lipid-related but also charge-associated membrane properties are altered as a consequence of cholesterol-enrichment or -depletion. Results further indicate that, just as cell partition in charged phase systems reflects membrane charge-associated properties not readily measured by means other than partition (Brooks, D.E., Seaman, G.V.F. and Walter, H. (1971) Nat. New Biol. 234, 61–62; Walter, H., Tung, R., Jackson, L.J. and Seaman, G.V.F. (1972) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 48, 565–571), cell partition in uncharged phases reflects membrane lipid-related properties also not readily measured by other means. 相似文献

The partitioning behavior of several Group 1 and 2 cations was investigated in poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based aqueous biphasic systems. All of these metal ions prefer the salt-rich phase over the PEG-rich phase with distribution ratios all well below one regardless of the system investigated. The relative salting-out ability of the individual cations can be directly correlated to their Gibbs free energy of hydration (ΔGhyd). In addition, the relative magnitude of the distribution ratios for these metal ions can also be explained in terms of ΔGhyd. 相似文献

The partitioning of proteases expressed by Penicillium restrictum from Brazilian Savanna in an inexpensive aqueous two-phase system composed of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) and sodium polyacrylate (NaPA) was studied. The effects of PEG molecular weight and concentration, as well as NaPA concentration and the concentration of fermented broth on protease partitioning were studied. Partitioning into the top PEG-rich phase was increased in systems with smaller PEG-molecular weight, higher NaPA concentration and lower PEG concentration. For most systems studied, purification has been achieved by directing the biomolecule partition to the opposite phase of the other proteins, providing the enzyme purification. The highest partition coefficient was obtained using 20 wt% NaPA, 4 wt% PEG 2000 g mol−1 and 45 wt% fermented broth, leading to a purification factor of 1.98 and partition coefficient of 37.73. The system showed high mass balances and yield, indicating enzyme stability and applicability for industrial processes. The partitioning results using the PEG/NaPA/NaCl system show that this method could be used to purify or concentrate protease from fermented broth. 相似文献

The characterisation of the polyethylene glycol-cashew-nut tree gum aqueous two-phase system is described. Factors which affect the phase diagram including polymer molecular mass, pH and temperature were analysed. The physico-chemical properties of the system such as density, viscosity, volume ratio and phase separation times were also described. The characteristics of the system studied indicate it to be very attractive as a separation technique. 相似文献

The dynamic viscosities of dilute aqueous poly(ethylene glycol) and dextran, and poly(ethylene glycol)-dextran-water solutions have been measured. The poly(ethylene glycol) and dextran samples had average molecular masses of 8000 Da and 580 000 Da, respectively. To estimate the values of viscosity of poly(ethylene glycol)-dextran-water solutions, a Grunberg like equation has been proposed which takes into account the influence of poly(ethylene glycol) and dextran concentrations. The relative errors vary between 0.76 and 11.64 in absolute value. 相似文献

Poly(ethylene glycol) 6000 induced a concentration-dependent, time-dependent decrease in the latency of the reaction between Arsenazo III sequestered in liposomes and extraliposomal Ca2+. This was mediated by a gross change in liposomal permeability, i.e. by a release of Arsenazo III from liposomes rather than simply by an entry of Ca2+. The loss of latency was strongly temperature-dependent, and it was markedly diminished on increasing the cholesterol content of the liposomes. It was apparently not due to an osmotic stress of the polymer. The high activation energy found (63 kJ · mol?1) is thought to indicate that the loss of latency resulted from local discontinuities in the lipid bilayers, caused by dehydration, rather than from partial or total lysis. Related microscopy experiments indicated that the polymer also caused the liposomes to fuse, and it is suggested that membrane fusion may have occurred at the sites of dehydration-induced discontinuities in adjacent bilayers, in addition the polymer was found to enhance the permeability of hen erythrocytes to Ca2+ in a manner that was comparable to its effect on liposomal latency, and it is proposed that cell fusion induced by poly(ethylene glycol) may occur at the sites of similarly induced discontinuities in the phospholipid bilayers of two closely adjacent cells. 相似文献

Measurement was made of the electrical potential between the two phases formed in an aqueous solution containing 5% dextran, 4% polyethylene glycol and varying concentrations of sodium chloride and sodium phosphate. Partition of the polycation DEAE-dextran-glycyltyrosine-125I in such systems containing varying salt composition could be correlated with the measured electrical potential. Partion of human erythrocytes which have a negative surface charge was also correlated related with the measured electrical potential. Binding of DEAE-dextran-glycyltyrosine-125I to human erythrocytes had less effect on their partitioning than might be expected from the number of positive charges bound to their surface. 相似文献

A convenient and sensitive method for the quantitative determination of poly(ethylene glycol) 400 in plasma and urine with capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry has been developed. The sample preparation involves solid-phase extraction with subsequent derivatization with heptafluorobutyric anhydride, which proved to give the most stable derivative. The derivatization procedure was optimized using experimental design, and different solid-phase extraction columns were evaluated. The limit of quantitation was 1 μmol/l (0.4 μg/ml) for both plasma and urine. 相似文献

The partition behaviour of cutinase on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)–hydroxypropyl starch aqueous two-phase systems was characterized. The effect of molecular mass of PEG, the pH of the system and tie-line length on cutinase partition coefficient and cutinase yield to the top phase was investigated for systems prepared with a purified hydroxypropyl starch (Reppal PES 100) and a crude one (HPS). The effect of the presence of different salts, such as sodium chloride, sodium sulphate and ammonium sulphate, on cutinase partition was also studied. The results lead to the conclusion that aqueous two-phase systems composed of PEG and hydroxypropyl starch are not efficient in the purification of cutinase. In the majority of cases, the partition coefficients were very close to 1, with pH being the factor which affects most cutinase partition. Partition coefficients were significantly improved when salts were added to the systems. For PEG 4000–Reppal PES 100 [at pH 4.0; 0.5 M (NH4)2SO4], the partition coefficient for cutinase was 3.7, while a value of 12 was obtained for PEG 4000–HPS (at pH 4.0; 1 M NaCl). An isoelectric point (pI) of 7.8 was confirmed for cutinase by constructing a cross partition graphic from the results obtained in the experiments with different salts. 相似文献

Partition coefficients in biphasic mixtures of poly(ethylene glycol) and Dextran are compared to cell surface energies obtained from contact angles of each liquid phase on cell layers. Linear relationships are observed between these two independent measurements for a variety of bacterial cells. The results demonstrate the importance of interfacial phenomena and contact angles in the phase-partition process. 相似文献

Solvent polarity and pH in the coexisting aqueous phases of aqueous dextran-poly(ethylene glycol) and dextran-Ficoll two-phase systems of varied polymer concentrations were examined using the solvatochromic technique and potentiometric measurements, respectively. The relative solvent polarity of the phases, as measured by the solvatochromic technique, is suggested as a measure of the hydration power of water in the phases of aqueous polymer systems. Partitioning of a series of sulphonephthalein dyes in aqueous dextran-poly(ethylene glycol) and dextran-Ficoll two-phase systems of fixed polymer composition containing 0.01 mol/L universal buffer, pH 7.15, was studied. The results obtained are discussed together with those reported earlier on the physico-chemical features of aqueous media in the coexisting phases of the systems. It is suggested that the two phases of aqueous polymer systems should be viewed as two immiscible water-like solvents. The implications of the suggestion for the theoretical treatment of aqueous polymer two-phase systems are discussed. 相似文献

Counter-current distribution (CCD) of red blood cells (RBC) from individuaks with homozygous sickle cell (HbSS) disease in a charge-sensitive aqueous dextran-poly(ethylene glycol) phase system, which fractionates cells on the basis of surface properties, indicates that the percentage of irreversibly sickled cells (ISC) increases and the percentage of reticulocytes decreases with increasing cell partition ratios. The high partition ratios of ISC correspond to those of older RBC when RBC from normal individuals are subjected to CCD. Our results thus indicate that ISC differ in surface properties from those of the bulk of sickle RBC (including reticulocytes) in the population and that the difference is, most likely, charge-related. While the question as to whether ISC are indeed old cells has not yet been unequivocally answered, this view finds support in the fact that the independent parameters of ISC surface properties, as reflected by partition ratios, and densities correlate as they do in older RBC from normal individuals. 相似文献

Recently there has been an increased interest in the effects of paracrine signaling between groups of cells, particularly in the context of better understanding how stem cells contribute to tissue repair. Most current 3D co-culture methods lack the ability to effectively separate two cell populations after the culture period, which is important for simultaneously analyzing the reciprocal effects of each cell type on the other. Here, we detail the development of a 3D hydrogel co-culture system that allows us to culture different cell types for up to 7 days and subsequently separate and isolate the different cell populations using enzyme-sensitive glues. Separable 3D co-culture laminates were prepared by laminating PEG-based hydrogels with enzyme-degradable hydrogel adhesives. Encapsulated cell populations exhibited good segregation with well-defined interfaces. Furthermore, constructs can be separated on-demand upon addition of the appropriate enzyme, while cell viability remains high throughout the culture period, even after laminate separation. This platform offers great potential for a variety of basic cell signaling studies as the incorporation of an enzyme-sensitive adhesive interface allows the on-demand separation of individual cell populations for immediate analysis or further culture to examine persistence of co-culture effects and paracrine signaling on cell populations.

Aluminum [Al(III)] adsorption onto dye-incorporated poly(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) [poly(EGDMA-HEMA)] microspheres was investigated. Poly(EGDMA-HEMA) microspheres, in the size range of 150–200 μm, were produced by a modified suspension polymerization of EGDMA and HEMA. The reactive dyes (i.e., Congo Red, Cibacron Blue F3GA and Alkali Blue 6B) were covalently incorporated to the microspheres. The maximum dye load was 14.5 μmol Congo Red/g, 16.5 μmol Cibacron Blue F3GA/g and 23.7 μmol Alkali Blue 6B/g polymer. The maximum Al(III) adsorption on the dye microspheres from aqueous solutions containing different amounts of Al(III) ions were 27.9 mg/g, 17.3 mg/g and 12.2 mg/g polymer for the Congo Red, Cibacron Blue F3GA and Alkali Blue 6B, respectively. The maximum Al(III) adsorption was observed at pH 7.0 in all cases. Non-specific Al(III) adsorption was about 0.84 mg/g polymer under the same conditions. High desorption ratios (95%) were achieved in all cases by using 0.1 M HNO3. It was possible to reuse these dye-incorporated poly(EGDMA-HEMA) microspheres without significant losses in the Al(III) adsorption capacities. 相似文献

Cell surface-associated changes in behaviour of cultured cells on partition in an aqueous two-phase polymer system were studied using FM3A cell line (a cultured mammary cancer of mouse) with respect to aging.The aqueous polymer system consisted of dextran, polyethyleneglycol and sodium phosphate, equilibrated at 6°C to separate into two phases. Enzyme treatment of cells with neuraminidase reduced cell electrophoretic mobility, as well as the cell partition ratio. Hyaluronidase produced no observable effects on partition and cell electrophoretic mobility, suggesting that the partition is related to sialic acid-associated cell surface charges. The pattern of change in relation to culture time was similar for both cell electrophoretic mobility and cell partition, showing a rise and fall of charge-associated cell surface change during cell growth, the maximum occurring at the beginning of exponential growth. This change was reflected in the pattern of countercurrent distribution of the cells in respective stages of growth. Countercurrent distribution with our two-phase system is expected to be capable of fractionating cell populations according to cell surface properties. 相似文献

Poly ethylene glycol (PEG)-poly acrylic acid (PAA) based aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) was selected as a practical model to recover glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) from tannery wastewater. The influence of PEG molecular weight, tie line length (TLL), pH, temperature and NaCl concentration on the partition coefficient of glycosaminoglycans from tannery wastewater was studied. Partition coefficient of glycosaminoglycan decreases on increase of PEG molecular weight, NaCl concentration and temperature, whereas it increases with increase of pH. In the PEG-rich phase, increased partitioning of GAGs was observed with increase in TLL. The partitioning of GAGs was better in PEG 4000 at pH 8.0, 20 °C with a yield of 91.50%. This study demonstrates the potential application of ATPS processes for the recovery of GAGs from complex biological suspensions. 相似文献
