Application

Poly-L-lysine polymers can be used in promoting cell adhesion to solid substrates, conjugation to methotrexate for increased drug transport, microencapsulation of islets, cell microencapsulation technology, microarray glass slide coating, and chromosomal preparations. Lower molecular weight poly-L-lysine (30,000-70,000) is less viscuous in solution, but higher molecular weight versions provide more attachment sites per molecule. Poly-L-lysine hydrobromide has been used:

• as a component of polyplexes and in DNA condensation experiments
• for coating circular mica disks for atomic force microscopy studies and SuperFrost glass slides for immunofluorescence studies of in HL-60 cells
• as a reference standard for generating calibration curve for the quantification of ε- Poly-L-lysine

Biochem/physiol Actions

Poly-L-lysine is a nonspecific attachment factor for cells useful in promoting cell adhesion to solid substrates by enhancing electrostatic interaction between negatively charged ions of the cell membrane and the culture surface. When it is absorbed to the cell culture surface, poly-L-lysine functions to increase the number of positively charged sites available for cell binding. With cells that can digest poly-L-lysine, poly-D-lysine should be used as the attachment factor.

Preparation Note

This product has a molecular weight of 4,000-15,000. To remove the HBr, dissolve this product in a neutral buffer and dialyze to remove the salts. None of the poly-L-lysine products have been exposed to trifluoroacetic acid and are dialyzed to remove any monomers, dimmers, or trimers, confirmed by thin layer chromatography. In general, to use this product as an attachment factor, add 50 mL of sterile tissue culture grade water to 5 mg of poly-lysine, and aseptically coat the surface with 1 mL per 25 cm² of solution. After 5 minutes, remove the solution through aspiration and thoroughly rinse the surface. Let dry for two hours before introducing cells and medium.

Other Notes

La poli-L-lisina è un polimero aminoacidico con carica positiva con circa un HBr per residuo di lisina. Il bromidrato consente alla poli-L-lisina di raggiungere la forma cristallina solubile in acqua. Una piccola quantità del prodotto può essere rinvenuta nella struttura beta perché il HBr interferisce con il legame idrogeno tra i gruppi amminici e i gruppi carbossilici o le frazioni che contengono N o O.

Disclaimer

Le soluzioni sterili sono stabili per un massimo di due anni se conservate a 2-8 °C. Il prodotto deve essere conservato essiccato a -20 °C.
