Acute phase serodiagnosis using Quik-Sep ion exchange chromatography.

A commercial ion-exchange column method (Quik-Sep) for isolation of immunoglobulin M (IgM) free from immunoglobulin G (IgG) was evaluated. After column separation, serum IgM recovery averaged 88% (46-100%) with IgG removal averaging 95% (91-100%). Rubella and Toxoplasma gondii IgM antibodies were recovered without a change in titer, whereas IgG antibodies were removed effectively. Rheumatoid factor (RF) interference and IgG blocking antibodies were eliminated following column chromatography.

Determination of 2-carboxy thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid in biological fluids by ion-exchange chromatography.

A column ion-exchange chromatographic method for the determination of 2-carboxy thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (TDCA) in blood and urine is described. After elimination of endogenous thiols, alkaline hydrolysis of the compound yields cysteine which is determined spectrophotometrically. The described method is specific for intact TDCA. Using a 3-ml aliquot of sample it allows the linear determination of this hepatoprotective drug from 5 micrograms TDCA ml-1 with a detection limit of 3 micrograms ml-1. The method was applied to study the time course of plasma levels and urinary excretion. An in vitro metabolism study showed that TDCA has a potential as a cysteine donor for glutathione synthesis.

A highly purified factor VIII:c concentrate prepared from cryoprecipitate by ion-exchange chromatography.

A new ion-exchange chromatographic procedure has been developed to produce a highly purified factor VIII (FVIII) concentrate from plasma cryoprecipitate. Solubilized cryoprecipitate, after adsorption on aluminium hydroxide and cold precipitation, was treated with 0.3% tri(n-butyl)phosphate and 1% Tween 80 at 25 degrees C for at least 8 h to inactivate lipid-enveloped viruses. The fraction was then loaded onto a column packed with DEAE-Fractogel TSK 650 M and chromatographed. Most proteins and TnBP-Tween 80 flowed through the gel unretarded. FVIII:c, which bound to the gel, was eluted by increasing the ionic strength, then was directly filter-sterilized without ultrafiltration or addition of a protein stabilizer. Chromatographic recovery of FVIII:c was 80-90%. After freeze-drying, FVIII:c was at a concentration of 42.5 +/- 9.5 IU/ml and had a specific activity of 175.4 +/- 37.8 IU/mg (n = 40), corresponding to a purification factor of over 12,000 from plasma. The typical yield of the freeze-dried FVIII:c from cryoprecipitate was 55-65%. FVIII:c was stable for over 24 h at room temperature in the liquid state. The mean content of fibrinogen and immunoglobulin G was only 65 and 100 mg/l, respectively, corresponding to 1.4 and 2.3 mg/1,000 IU FVIII:c. This concentrate, which is much purer than traditional FVIII concentrates, has been found to be well tolerated and effective in clinical treatment of hemophilia A patients.

Blood cardioplegia supplementation with the sodium-hydrogen ion exchange inhibitor cariporide to attenuate infarct size and coronary artery endothelial dysfunction after severe regional ischemia in a canine model.

BACKGROUND: Activation of the sodium-hydrogen ion exchange mechanism results in accumulation of intracellular calcium through the sodium-calcium ion antiport mechanism. Administration of a sodium-hydrogen ion exchange inhibitor before or during ischemia attenuates myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury. However, the cardioprotection exerted by sodium-hydrogen ion exchange inhibitors as adjuncts to cardioplegia without perioperative administration has not been tested in a model of surgical reperfusion of acute coronary occlusion with cardiopulmonary bypass. This study tested the hypothesis that sodium-hydrogen ion exchange inhibitor-supplemented blood cardioplegia would reduce postcardioplegia injury after severe regional ischemia. METHODS: In anesthetized open-chest dogs, the left anterior descending coronary artery was occluded for 75 minutes, after which total cardiopulmonary bypass was initiated. After crossclamping, cold (4 degrees C) antegrade blood cardioplegia was delivered every 20 minutes for a total of 60 minutes of cardioplegic arrest. In 8 dogs, the blood cardioplegic solution was unsupplemented (vehicle group), whereas in 8 others the solution was supplemented with the sodium-hydrogen ion exchange inhibitor cariporide (10 micro mol/L, cariporide group). RESULTS: In the in vitro studies, the direct effects of cariporide on neutrophil function were determined. Isolated canine neutrophils were stimulated by platelet activating factor. Cariporide attenuated superoxide anion production in a concentration-dependent manner, with no appreciable effect at 10 micro mol/L (the concentration used in blood cardioplegia) and a peak effect at 100 micro mol/L. In the in vivo cardiopulmonary bypass model, infarct size was significantly (P <.05) smaller in the cariporide group than in the vehicle group (22.4% +/- 3.5% vs 40.1% +/- 5.1% of area at risk), although there were no group differences in postischemic regional wall motion after 2 hours of reperfusion (0.1% +/- 0.9% vs -0.2% +/- 0.3% systolic shortening). Transmural myocardial edema in the area at risk was significantly decreased in the cariporide group (80.6% +/- 0.5%) relative to the vehicle group (83.1% +/- 0.6%). Myeloperoxidase activity in the area at risk, an index of neutrophil accumulation, was significantly lower in the cariporide group than in the vehicle group (4.7 +/- 0.9 absorbence units/[min. g tissue] vs 10.3 +/- 2.3 absorbence units/[min. g tissue]). In isolated postischemic left anterior descending coronary artery rings, maximum relaxation in response to the endothelium-dependent vasodilator acetylcholine was significantly greater in the cariporide group than in the vehicle group (77.5% +/- 7.4% vs 51.4% +/- 8.0%), whereas smooth muscle relaxation in response to nitroprusside was comparable between groups. CONCLUSION: In this canine model, supplementation of blood cardioplegia with cariporide, a sodium-hydrogen ion exchange inhibitor, reduced infarct size, attenuated neutrophil accumulation in the area at risk, and reduced postischemic coronary artery endothelial dysfunction without directly inhibiting neutrophil activity. Cariporide as an adjunct to blood cardioplegia without perioperative administration attenuated surgical ischemia-reperfusion injury in jeopardized myocardium.

Hydration of halide anions in ion-exchange resin and their dissociation from cationic groups.

The local structures of Cl- and Br- in an anion-exchange resin have been investigated by X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS). The resins, which have been equilibrated under various partial water vapor pressures to allow the anions to have various hydration numbers, are provided for XAFS measurements. The XAFS spectra indicate that two scattering groups around the counteranion are present, that is, water molecules and an ion-exchange group. Regression analyses allow the separation of the contributions from these two scattering groups; thus, the average hydration number (N) is determined. The hydration number linearly increases with increasing the number of water molecules (n) adsorbed by an ion-exchange pair (an ion-exchange group and a counteranion) until the ion-exchange pair adsorbs ca. 3 water molecules, indicating that all of the adsorbed water molecules coordinate the counteranion. However, an increase in N with increasing n becomes small as n exceeds 3; N finally reaches 3.9 (+/-0.4) for Cl- and ca. 3.4 (+/-0.5) for Br-. Detailed studies of the water adsorption isotherms imply that the maximum hydration number of these anions is three when they are bound by the ion-exchange groups, and as more water molecules are supplied, they are dissociated from the ion-exchange groups; ca. 40% of total counteranions are dissociated from the ion-exchange groups.

Cesium and strontium ion exchange on the framework titanium silicate M2Ti2O3SiO4.nH2O (M = H, Na).

The ion exchange properties of the titanium silicate, M2Ti2O3SiO4.nH2O (M = H, Na), toward stable and radioactive 137Cs+ and 89Sr2+, have been examined. By studying the cesium and strontium uptake in the presence of NaNO3, CaCl2, NaOH, and HNO3 (in the range of 0.01-6 M) the sodium titanium silicate was found to be an efficient Cs+ ion exchanger in acid, neutral, and alkaline media and an efficient Sr2+ ion exchanger in neutral and alkaline media, which makes it promising for treatment of contaminated environmental media and biological systems.

Characterization of Cr ion exchange with hydrotalcite.

Experiments were performed to characterize the removal of chromium from water with uncalcined hydrotalcite, a clay mineral ion exchange media. The process was characterized as a function of pH, temperature, contact time, and both Cr and hydrotalcite concentrations. A Freundlich isotherm, used to describe adsorption equilibria, was used as a model and Freundlich constants were determined. The kinetics of the ion exchange reaction were also modeled using a pseudo-first order reaction rate. Finally, an equilibrium stage process was modeled with sequential batch separations to determine if hydrotalcite ion exchange could reduce aqueous Cr levels to below the EPA limit of 0.1mgl(-1). It was shown that the process is highly pH dependent, only yielding significant removals at pH levels between 2.0 and 2.1. While hydrotalcite concentration, Cr concentration, and time did effect the ion exchange, temperature was not found to be a factor. Under optimal conditions, maximum removals of greater than 95% were achieved. Finally, sequential batch tests performed on initial Cr solutions ranging from 5mgl(-1) to 40mgl(-1), demonstrated that the water could be purified to a level that was not statistically different than the EPA limit, thus demonstrating the applicability of hydrotalcite ion exchange.

Critical assessment of electron spin resonance studies on Cu(I)-NO complexes in Cu-ZSM-5 zeolites prepared by solid- and liquid-state ion exchange.

Cu(I)-NO adsorption complexes were formed over Cu-ZSM-5 zeolites prepared by (i) solid-state ion exchange of NH(4)-ZSM-5 with CuCl and (ii) liquid-state ion exchange of ZSM-5 with Cu(CH(3)COO)(2). Electron spin resonance spectroscopy revealed the formation of two different Cu(I)-NO species A and B in both systems, whose spin Hamiltonian parameters are comparable with those already reported for the Cu(I)-NO species formed over 66% Cu(II) liquid-state ion-exchanged Cu-ZSM-5 materials. The population of the species A and B differs for the two systems studied. Formation of species B is more favored in the solid-state ion-exchanged Cu-ZSM-5 when compared to the liquid-state exchanged zeolite. The X-, Q- and W-band electron spin resonance spectra recorded at 6 and 77 K reveal the presence of a rigid geometry of the adsorption complexes at 6 K and a dynamic complex structure at higher temperatures such as 77 K. This is indicated by the change in the spin Hamiltonian parameters of the formed Cu(I)-NO species in both the liquid- and solid-state ion-exchanged Cu-ZSM-5 zeolites from 6 to 77 K. Possible models for the motional effects found at elevated temperatures are discussed. The temperature dependence of the electron spin phase memory time measured by two-pulse electron spin-echo experiments indicates, likewise, the onset of a motional process of the adsorbed NO molecules at temperatures above 10 K. The studies support previous assignments where the NO complexes are formed at two different Cu(I) cationic sites in the ZSM-5 framework and highlight that multifrequency electron spin resonance experiments at low temperatures are essential for reliable determination of the spin Hamiltonian parameters of the formed adsorption complexes for further comparison with Cu(I)-NO complex structures predicted by quantum chemical calculations.

Drug release properties of polymer coated ion-exchange resin complexes: experimental and theoretical evaluation.

Although ion-exchange resins have been used widely as drug delivery systems, their exact release kinetics has not been reported yet. Usually only the rate-limiting step has been taken into account and the rest of the steps have been ignored as instantaneous processes. To investigate the exact release kinetics of polymer-coated drug/ion-exchange resin complexes for sustained drug delivery, the results of new mathematical modeling were compared with experimental results. Drug/resin complexes with a model drug, dextromethorphan, were prepared and used as cores for fluid-bed coating. An aqueous colloidal dispersion of poly(vinyl acetate) was applied for the coating. A comprehensive mathematical model was developed using a mechanistic approach by considering diffusion, swelling, and ion-exchange processes solved by numerical techniques. The rate-limiting factor of the uncoated resin particles was diffusion through the core matrix. Similarly, in the coated particles the rate-limiting factor was diffusion through the coating membrane. The mathematical model has captured the phenomena observed during experimental evaluations and the release dynamics from uncoated and coated (at different coat levels) particles were predicted accurately (maximum RMSE 2.4%). The mathematical model is a useful tool to theoretically evaluate the drug release properties from coated ion-exchange complexes thus can be used for design purposes.

Extraction of steroidal glucosideronic acids from aqueous solutions by anionic liquid ion-exchangers.

A pilot study on the extraction of three steroidal glucosiduronic acids from water into organic solutions of liquid ion-exchangers is reported. A single extraction of a 0.5mm aqueous solution of either 11-deoxycorticosterone 21-glucosiduronic acid or cortisone 21-glucosiduronic acid with 0.1m-tetraheptylammonium chloride in chloroform took more than 99% of the conjugate into the organic phase; under the same conditions, the very polar conjugate, beta-cortol 3-glucosiduronic acid, was extracted to the extent of 43%. The presence of a small amount of chloride, acetate, or sulphate ion in the aqueous phase inhibited extraction, but making the aqueous phase 4.0m with ammonium sulphate promoted extraction strongly. An increase in the concentration of ion-exchanger in the organic phase also promoted extraction. The amount of cortisone 21-glucosiduronic acid extracted by tetraheptylammonium chloride over the pH range of 3.9 to 10.7 was essentially constant. Chloroform solutions of a tertiary, a secondary, or a primary amine hydrochloride also will extract cortisone 21-glucosiduronic acid from water. The various liquid ion exchangers will extract steroidal glucosiduronic acid methyl esters from water into chloroform, although less completely than the corresponding free acids. The extraction of the glucosiduronic acids from water by tetraheptylammonium chloride occurs by an ion-exchange process; extraction of the esters does not involve ion exchange.

Surface layer characterization after dual ion exchange of a leucite-reinforced dental porcelain.

The dual ion-exchange technique has been shown to improve the strength of feldspathic dental porcelains by first replacing constituent alkali ions with smaller ions above the strain point, and then exchanging the smaller ions for larger ions at temperatures below the strain point. The strength increase is directly related to the thickness of the surface-exchanged layer. This study evaluated the thickness of the exchanged layer after dual ion exchange of a leucite-reinforced dental porcelain. Optec HSP porcelain disks were fabricated, submitted to a dual ion-exchange treatment, and indented at various loads before determining the biaxial flexure strength. The mean flexural strength for the ion-exchanged groups was significantly higher than for control groups, except when the depth of the median crack exceeded 138 microns. Wavelength Dispersive Spectrometry analyses on cross sections showed that the mean potassium amount in the glassy matrix was significantly lower (P < .001) for the treated specimens than for the controls. The mean thickness of the exchanged layer after dual ion exchange was estimated at 140 microns.

Effect of formaldehyde on Cu(II) removal from synthetic complexed solutions by ion exchange.

The effect of formaldehyde (HCHO) on the ion exchange of Cu(II) from an equimolar EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, H(4)L) solution with a strong-base Amberlite IRA-400 resin was studied. Experiments were conducted as a function of the initial concentration of Cu(II) (0.5-10 mM), solution pH (1.0-6.0), HCHO concentration (0-6 vol%), and temperature (15-35 degrees C). It was shown that the amount of exchange of Cu(II), which exists in the form of complexed anions CuL(2-), increased with increasing solution pH and reached a plateau at an equilibrium pH (pH(e)) of 3.5. However, the amount of exchange decreased with increasing HCHO concentration up to 3 vol% but then slightly decreased with a further increase in HCHO concentration. Such effect of added HCHO was determined by the following two factors: the competitive exchange of HCOO(-) anions and the enhanced exchange of Cu(I) in the form of complexed anions CuL(3-). The exchange isotherm obtained at a fixed pH(e) could be well described by the Langmuir equation. The isosteric enthalpy change for the present ion exchange process was also evaluated and discussed.

Recent developments on ion-exchange membranes and electro-membrane processes.

Rapid growth of chemical and biotechnology in diversified areas fuels the demand for the need of reliable green technologies for the down stream processes, which include separation, purification and isolation of the molecules. Ion-exchange membrane technologies are non-hazardous in nature and being widely used not only for separation and purification but their application also extended towards energy conversion devices, storage batteries and sensors etc. Now there is a quite demand for the ion-exchange membrane with better selectivities, less electrical resistance, high chemical, mechanical and thermal stability as well as good durability. A lot of work has been done for the development of these types of ion-exchange membranes during the past twenty-five years. Herein we have reviewed the preparation of various types of ion-exchange membranes, their characterization and applications for different electro-membrane processes. Primary attention has been given to the chemical route used for the membrane preparation. Several general reactions used for the preparation of ion-exchange membranes were described. Methodologies used for the characterization of these membranes and their applications were also reviewed for the benefit of readers, so that they can get all information about the ion-exchange membranes at one platform. Although there are large number of reports available regarding preparations and applications of ion-exchange membranes more emphasis were predicted for the usefulness of these membranes or processes for solving certain type of industrial or social problems. More efforts are needed to bring many products or processes to pilot scale and extent their applications.

Chromatography of biopolymers and their fragments on ion-exchange derivatives of the hydrophilic macroporous synthetic gel spheron.

New ion-exchange materials have been developed from the synthetic glycol methacrylate gel Spheron: carboxymethyl-Spheron (weakly acidic); phosphonyl-Spheron (medium acidic); sulphonyl-Spheron (strongly acidic); diethylaminoethyl-Spheron (Type 1, weakly basic; Type 2, medium to strongly basic). Information is presented on the chromatographic characteristics of these new, macroporous, hydrophilic and rigid ion-exchangers as determined by experiments on the separation of mixtures of proteins, peptides, amino acids, nucleic acids, oligonucleotides, and nucleotides. The possibility is discussed of the use of ion-exchangers of this type in high-performance liquid chromatography of biopolymers.

The removal of model viruses, poliovirus type 1 and canine parvovirus, during the purification of human albumin using ion-exchange chromatographic procedures.

The manufacturing process for albumin in Australia is based primarily on ion-exchange chromatography. The capacity of ion-exchange matrices to remove non-enveloped viruses (canine parvovirus and poliovirus type 1) was assessed using a scaled-down chromatographic process which was shown to yield product meeting purity criteria set for the manufacturing process. Poliovirus type 1 and canine parvovirus were added at one tenth the volume of desalted and delipidated Supernatant II + III produced by traditional Cohn Fractionation from human plasma before the material was applied to DEAE and CM ion-exchangers connected in series. Samples were taken at equilibration, wash, elution and regeneration steps and the log clearance and reduction of the viruses calculated. The mean clearance and reduction factors for viral load of poliovirus type 1 were 5.3 logs and 3.2 logs, respectively and 1.8 logs and 1.8 logs for canine parvovirus.

Induced binding of proteins by ammonium sulfate in affinity and ion-exchange column chromatography.

In general, proteins bind to affinity or ion-exchange columns at low salt concentrations, and the bound proteins are eluted by raising the salt concentration, changing the solvent pH, or adding competing ligands. Blue-Sepharose is often used to remove bovine serum albumin (BSA) from samples, but when we applied BSA to Blue-Sepharose in 20 mM phosphate, pH 7.0, 50%-60% of the protein flowed through the column; however, complete binding of BSA was achieved by the addition of 2 M ammonium sulfate (AS) to the column equilibration buffer and the sample. The bound protein was eluted by decreasing the AS concentration or by adding 1 M NaCl or arginine. AS at high concentrations resulted in binding of BSA even to an ion-exchange column, Q-Sepharose, at pH 7.0. Thus, although moderate salt concentrations elute proteins from Blue-Sepharose or ion-exchange columns, proteins can be bound to these columns under extreme salting-out conditions. Similar enhanced binding of proteins by AS was observed with an ATP-affinity column.

Iminodiacetic acid functionalised monolithic silica chelating ion exchanger for rapid determination of alkaline earth metal ions in high ionic strength samples.

Iminodiacetic acid has been covalently bonded to a bare silica monolith to produce the first reported high-performance monolithic chelating ion exchange column. Using the new column, separation and determination of traces of alkaline earth metal ions (low ppm) in high ionic strength samples (up to 2 M NaCl and KCl brines), could be achieved in under 40 s. At an eluent flow rate of 4 mL min(-1) retention time precision was < 1.2% (n = 9) for Mg(II) and Ca(II), with detector linearity (n = 5) over the range 2-10 mg L(-1) of between R2 = 0.985 and R2 = 0.995. In 1 M KCl and NaCl brine samples, detection limits of 0.2 mg L(-1) were possible.

Determination of the inner surface of macroporous ion exchange resins.

Study on macroporours IX resins and the pore structure. In addition to ion exchange reactions, macroporous ion exchange resins also show adsorptive properties which are due to the large pores of the resin beads and to the inner surface inside the beads. To measure this surface and the pore radii requires very precise fixation of the condition existing prior to the drying of the water-moist resin beads. Such stabilizing fixation can be achieved by displacing the regain water by isopropyl alcohol and subsequent drying for measuring the pore data.
