Abstract
An experimental investigation on the adsorption of immuno γ-globulin molecules on polystyrene microspheres is described. Three different IgG samples were adsorbed on latex particles. One was of polyclonal nature with a broad range of isoelectric points (6.1–8.7), whereas the other samples were of monoclonal nature, Mab 1 and Mab 2 with i.e.p. of (5.65±0.15) and (7.7±0.1), respectively. Adsorption isotherms at different ionic strengths and pH were performed. Most of the adsorption isotherms showed well-defined plateaus. Because of instability in solution of Mab 2 in the pH values of 7 and 8, no plateau values were found in the adsorption isotherms at both pH-values. Maximum protein adsorption was found around the i.e.p. of the protein. According to the findings, the IgG adsorption on polystyrene surface is strongly irreversible with respect to pH changes. The ionic-strength changes, however, exert a pronounced effect on the adsorption-desorption processes of IgG on negatively charged polystyrene surface. Also, electrophoresis experiments were performed to gain information on the electrostatic interaction between the IgG molecules and the PS latex. With increasing the adsorbed amount of IgG the absolute value of mobility decreases to reach a plateau value. The isoelectric pH of the IgG-PS complex is always smaller than the i.e.p. of the dissolved IgG, indicating that the PS surface charge must partly compensate the positive charge on the protein. Finally, the colloidal stability of the rabbit IgG/PS complex is always very low, whereas the Mab/PS complexes are very stable when the charge electrokinetically mobilized by these systems is very large.
