Specificities of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies that inhibit adsorption of herpes simplex virus to cells and lack of inhibition by potent neutralizing antibodies.

Polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies to individual herpes simplex virus (HSV) glycoproteins were tested for ability to inhibit adsorption of radiolabeled HSV type 1 (HSV-1) strain HFEMsyn [HSV-1(HFEM)syn] to HEp-2 cell monolayers. Polyclonal rabbit antibodies specific for glycoprotein D (gD) or gC and three monoclonal mouse antibodies specific for gD-1 or gC-1 most effectively inhibited HSV-1 adsorption. Antibodies of other specificities had less or no inhibitory activity despite demonstrable binding of the antibodies to virions. Nonimmune rabbit immunoglobulin G and Fc fragments partially inhibited adsorption when used at relatively high concentrations. These results suggest involvement of gD, gC, and perhaps gE (the Fc-binding glycoprotein) in adsorption. The monoclonal anti-gD antibodies that were most effective at inhibiting HSV-1 adsorption had only weak neutralizing activity. The most potent anti-gD neutralizing antibodies had little effect on adsorption at concentrations significantly higher than those required for neutralization. This suggests that, although some anti-gD antibodies can neutralize virus by blocking adsorption, a more important mechanism of neutralization by anti-gD antibodies may be interference with a step subsequent to adsorption, possibly penetration.

Adsorption of mycoplasmavirus MV-L2 to Acholeplasma laidlawii: effects of changes in the acyl-chain composition of membrane lipids.

The enveloped mycoplasmavirus MV-L2 and its host Acholeplasma laidlawii JA1 were used to study the ways in which changes in the membrane lipid bilayer affect virus adsorption. The physical state of the membranes was altered by (i) using viruses and bacteria with different membrane lipid acyl-chain compositions, (ii) using incorporation of cholesterol, and (iii) changing the temperature. Adsorption of viruses was strongly dependent on the acyl-chain composition of the virus and the host. Adsorption to homologous hosts was poor, whereas adsorption to hosts with highly different membrane lipid acyl-chain composition was much stronger. We found a heterogeneity within virus populations produced from hosts with different acyl-chain compositions. In a given virus population, various subpopulations differing in acyl-chain composition were found that differed in their ability to adsorb to cells with a specific acyl-chain composition. The adsorption rate increased slightly when cholesterol was present in the viral membranes but decreased considerably when cholesterol was present in the bacterial membranes. The rate of adsorption was temperature dependent with an increase in adsorption rate above 20 degrees C (for hosts with equal amounts of palmitoyl and oleoyl acyl chains). MV-L2 did not adsorb to the persistently L2-infected strain JA1(2R) but adsorbed very well to the virus-resistant strain A(EF22). The physicochemical properties of the lipid matrix of both virus and host are obviously important factors in the adsorption process.

Adsorption of benzo(a)pyrene on to asbestos and manmade mineral fibres in an aqueous solution and in a biological model solution.

The adsorption of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) on to three types of asbestos (chrysotile antophyllite, and amosite) and three types of manmade mineral fibres (MMMF) (rock wool, slag wool, and glass wool) in a physiological water solution was studied. Adsorption was determined from the decrease in the liquid concentration of BaP on the addition of the solid material. Results show that all the fibres weakly adsorb BaP, approximately within the same order of magnitude. The combined adsorption of BaP and phosphatidylcholine (PC) on to chrysotile and amosite asbestos and on to rock wool in aqueous solution was also studied. PC, one of the major constituents in lung surfactant, forms a separate lipid phase in water consisting of micellar liposomes or lipid bilayers. A decrease in the liquid concentration of PC was found when any of the three materials was added, indicating adsorption of the lipid phase on to the fibres. A coincident decrease in the liquid concentration of BaP was also found indicating that BaP is readily solubilised in PC and will accompany the adsorption of this compound on to the fibres. Owing to the high lipid aqueous partition coefficient of BaP, it is concluded that the direct adsorption of BaP on to the fibres will be negligible when PC is present in the system even at low concentrations. Phospholipid adsorption by the fibres and not their direct adsorption of aromatic hydrocarbons should therefore be the crucial parameter for this indirect interaction between fibres and aromatic hydrocarbons.

Specificity of virus adsorption to clay minerals.

Competitive adsorption studies indicated that reovirus type 3 and coliphage T1 did not share common adsorption sites on kaolinite and montmorillonite. Compounds in the minimal essential medium (e.g., fetal bovine serum, amino acids) in which the reovirus was maintained blocked adsorption of coliphage T1 to kaolinite and partially to montmorillonite in synthetic estuarine water, but they had no effect on coliphage adsorption to montmorillonite in distilled water or on the adsorption of the reovirus to either clay. The blockage of positively charged sites on kaolinite or montmorillonite by treatment of the clays with sodium metaphosphate or with the supernatants from montmorillonite or kaolinite, respectively, had no effect on adsorption of the reovirus. These data indicate that there was a specificity in adsorption sites for mixed populations of reovirus type 3 and coliphage T1 and emphasize the importance of using more than one type of virus, especially in combination, to predict virus behavior (e.g., adsorption, loss of infectivity) in soils and sediments containing clay minerals.

Cytokine adsorptive property of various adsorbents in immunoadsorption columns and a newly developed adsorbent: an in vitro study.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Cytokines play important roles in the pathophysiology of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis. Therefore, some effective measures to remove cytokines from the bloodstream could be effective in the treatment of SIRS and sepsis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytokine adsorptive property of various adsorbents for the purpose of the development of new selective cytokine adsorption columns. METHODS: The cytokine adsorptive property of adsorbent in a CF-X column, which consists of cellulose beads cross-linked with hexamethylene-di-isocyanate, was compared with those of various adsorbents in currently available immunoadsorption columns, such as Immusorba TR, Immusorba PH, Selesorb, and Lixelle, in vitro batchwise test using patients' plasma. A newly developed adsorbent, MPCF-X, which was modified by coating the surface of the adsorbent in CF-X with 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC), was also tested for its cytokine adsorptive property. RESULTS: The adsorbent in CF-X showed a significantly higher adsorption rate for TNF-alpha, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 compared with other adsorbents (p < 0.05). Adsorbent in Lixelle showed good affinity to TNF-alpha and IL-8. Especially, the adsorbent in CF-X almost completely removed TNF-alpha, whereas it also had considerable affinity to normal IgG. MPCF-X showed decreased affinity to IgG with considerable adsorptive properties to cytokines. CONCLUSION: Selective cytokine adsorption columns could be developed with improvement of currently available adsorbents. Such a new selective cytokine adsorption column could be clinically applied for the treatment of SIRS/sepsis.

Calculation of solvation interaction energies for protein adsorption on polymer surfaces.

Of the interactions that govern protein adsorption on polymer surfaces, solvation interactions (repulsive hydration and attractive hydrophobic interactions) are thought to be among the most important. The solvation interactions in protein adsorption, however, have not been dealt with in theoretical calculation of the adsorption energy owing to the difficulties in modelling such interactions. We have evaluated the solvation interaction energies using the fragment constant method of calculating the partition coefficients of amino acids. The fundamental assumption of this approach is that the partition coefficients of amino acids between water and organic solvent phases are related to the free energies of transfer from bulk water to the polymer surface. The X-ray crystallographic protein structures of lysozyme, trypsin, immunoglobulin Fab, and hemoglobin from the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank were used. The model polymer surfaces were polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) [poly(HEMA)], and poly(vinyl alcohol). All possible adsorption orientations of the proteins were simulated to study the effect of protein orientation on the solvation interactions. Protein adsorption on either hydrophobic or hydrophilic polymer surfaces was examined by considering the sum of solvation and other interaction energies. The results showed that the contribution of the solvation interaction to the total protein adsorption energy was significant. The average solvation interaction energy ranged from -259.1 to -74.1 kJ/mol for the four proteins on the hydrophobic polymer surfaces, such as polystyrene, polypropylene, and polyethylene. On the other hand, the average solvation interaction energies on hydrophilic surfaces such as poly(HEMA) and poly(vinyl alcohol) were larger than zero. This indicates that repulsive hydration interactions are in effect for protein adsorption on hydrophilic polymer surfaces. The total interaction energies of the proteins with hydrophobic surfaces were always lower than those with more hydrophilic surfaces. This trend is in agreement with the experimental observations in the literature. This study suggests that consideration of the solvation interaction energies is necessary for accurate calculation of the protein adsorption energies.

Differential adsorption and chemical affinities of proteins for apatitic surfaces.

Studies are reviewed which identify the interacting groups involved in protein adsorption onto hydroxyapatite. Thus, carboxyl and phosphoester groups bind to calcium sites in the adsorbent, and basic groups bind to phosphate sites. Detailed adsorption studies have been performed to quantitate some of these interactions. An adsorption model, based on the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, adequately fitted the data from experiments using selected amino acids, bovine albumin and two human salivary proteins. Adsorption parameters (affinities and maximum number of sites) were obtained for several apatitic adsorbents, with affinities increasing considerably in the series hydroxy- (HA), fluorhydroxy- (FHA) and fluorapatite (FA). A modest increase in the number of sites was also noted. The change in adsorption behavior, with increasing fluoride content, was attributed to a reduction in the surface free energy of the adsorbent, with a concomitant decrease in the interaction of the adsorbent with water, and a consequent enhancement of the adsorption bond. It is suggested that this effect may play a role in the cariostatic effect of fluoride. Unusual structural aspects of the salivary proteins are discussed in relation to their adsorption behavior, and the molecular segments responsible for binding to the adsorbent tentatively identified.

Contribution of cell-surface components to Cu2+ adsorption by Pseudomonas putida 5-x.

The contribution of various cell-surface components to Cu2+ adsorption by a Gram-negative bacterium, Pseudomonas putida 5-x, that was isolated from local electroplating effluent with a high capability to accumulate heavy metal ions was studied. The cell superficial layer had a negative effect on Cu2+ adsorption of the bacterial cells. Cu2+ adsorption capacity of the separated cell envelopes was fivefold more than that of the intact cells, owing to the liberation of more and more binding sites during the separation process. Some main components in the cell envelope, such as the peptidoglycan (PEG) layer, outer membrane, and inner membrane, provide the capability for Cu2+ adsorption. The content of the components in the cell envelope is in the order inner membrane > outer membrane > PEG layer, and their Cu2+ adsorption capacity was in the order PEG layer > outer membrane > inner membrane. The total contribution of the separated PEG layer material to Cu2+ adsorption by the cell envelope was no more than 15%, and the outer membrane and inner membrane contributed about 30-35% and 25-30%, respectively. The relatively high phospholipid content in the outer membrane may be the major reason for the higher adsorption capacity of the outer membrane to Cu2+ and, hence, such a high Cu2+ adsorption capacity of P. putida 5-x cell envelope.

Electroendocytosis: exposure of cells to pulsed low electric fields enhances adsorption and uptake of macromolecules.

This study demonstrates alteration of cell surface, leading to enhanced adsorption of macromolecules (bovine serum albumin (BSA), dextran, and DNA), after the exposure of cells to unipolar pulsed low electric fields (LEF). Modification of the adsorptive properties of the cell membrane also stems from the observation of LEF-induced cell-cell aggregation. Analysis of the adsorption isotherms of BSA-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) to the surface of COS 5-7 cells reveals that the stimulated adsorption can be attributed to LEF-induced increase in the capacity of both specific and nonspecific binding. The enhanced adsorption was consequently followed by increased uptake. At 20 V/cm the maximal binding and subsequent uptake of BSA-FITC attached to specific sites are 6.5- and 7.4-fold higher than in controls, respectively. The nonspecific LEF-induced binding and uptake of BSA are 34- and 5.2-fold higher than in controls. LEF-enhanced adsorption is a temperature-independent process, whereas LEF-induced uptake is a temperature-dependent one that is abolished at 4 degrees C. The stimulation of adsorption and uptake is reversible, revealing similar decay kinetics at room temperature. It is suggested that electrophoretic segregation of charged components in the outer leaflet of the cell membrane is responsible for both enhanced adsorption and stimulated uptake via changes of the membrane elastic properties that enhance budding and fission processes.

Adsorption characteristics of as(III) and as(V) with titanium dioxide loaded Amberlite XAD-7 resin.

The adsorption characteristics of As(V) and As(III) on titanium dioxide loaded Amberlite XAD-7 resin have been studied. The resin was prepared by impregnation of Ti(OC2H5)4 followed by hydrolysis with ammonium hydroxide. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a function of the pH, shaking time and the concentration of As(V) and As(III) ions. The resin showed a strong adsorption for As(V) from pH 1 to 5 and for As(III) from pH 5 to 10. The adsorption isotherm data for As(V) at pH 4 fitted well to a Langmuir equation with a binding constant of 59 dm3 mol(-1) and a capacity constant of 0.063 mmol g(-1). The data for As(III) at pH 7 also fitted well to a Langmuir equation with a binding constant of 5.4 dm3 mol(-1) and a capacity constant of 0.13 mmol g(-1). The effect of diverse ions on the adsorption of arsenic was also studied. Column adsorption experiments showed that the adsorption of As(III) is more favorable compared to As(V), due to both the faster adsorption and larger capacity for As(III) than As(V).

Implementation of sulfate adsorption in the SAFE model.

An SO4(2-) adsorption submodel has been implemented in the dynamic soil chemistry model SAFE. The submodel calculates pH-dependent SO4(2-) and H+ adsorption to the soil, as well as the net surface charge development due to uneven adsorption of SO4(2-) and H+, using the empirical equations derived from an electrostatic model (Extended Constant Capacitance Model, ECCM) of SO4(2-) adsorption. The resulting new SAFE model was applied on a roof experiment plot in the Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.] stand at Solling, Germany, where atmospheric S and N deposition was artificially reduced by the roof construction. The model performance was compared with the previous versions that used a pH-independent Freudlich model of SO4(2-) adsorption or assumed no SO4(2-) adsorption. With the ECCM-based SO4(2-) adsorption submodel, SAFE simulated soil solution SO4(2-) concentration and base saturation better, in comparison with measured data, than with the previous SO4(2-) adsorption formulations. Through the model application, also, need of additional improvement was suggested, such as calibration of mass transfer coefficients.

Adsorption of pesticides onto quartz, calcite, kaolinite, and alpha-alumina.

The fate of pesticides in aquifers is influenced by the small but not insignificant adsorption of pesticides to mineral surfaces. Batch experiments with five pesticides and four minerals were conducted to quantify the contributions to adsorption from different mineral surfaces and compare adsorption characteristics of selected pesticides. Investigated mineral phases included quartz, calcite, kaolinite, and alpha-alumina. Selected pesticides comprised atrazine (6-chloro-N2-ethyl-N4-isopropyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine), isoproturon [3-(4-isopropylphenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea)], mecoprop [(RS)-2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionic acid], 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), and bentazone [3-isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4-(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide]. Specific surface area and mineral surface charge proved to be important for the adsorption of these pesticides. Detectable adsorption of the anionic pesticides (mecoprop, 2,4-D, and bentazone) was only measured when positive sites were present on the mineral surface. However, when CaCl2 was added as an electrolyte, a detectable adsorption of mecoprop and 2,4-D was also measured on kaolinite (which exhibits a negative surface charge), probably due to formation of Ca-pesticide--surface complexes. Adsorption of the uncharged pesticides (atrazine and isoproturon) was detected only on kaolinite. The lack of adsorption on alpha-alumina indicates that the uncharged pesticides have a greater affinity for the silanol surface sites (=SiOH) than for the aluminol surface sites (=AlOH) in kaolinite. No measurable effect of ionic strength was found for the uncharged pesticides. The results indicate that quartz and calcite play a smaller role than clay minerals.

Kinetics of chromate adsorption on goethite in the presence of sorbed silicic acid.

The adsorption of chromate on mineral surfaces has received much attention due to its toxicity in natural systems. Spectroscopic studies have demonstrated that chromate forms inner-sphere complexes on variable-charge surfaces. However, in natural systems chromate has been observed to be fairly mobile, which has been explained by the presence of naturally occurring ligands competing with chromate for mineral surface sites. Silicic acid is a ubiquitous ligand in soil and water environments and also sorbs strongly to variable-charge surfaces. Yet little research has examined its influence on chromate adsorption to variable-charge surfaces such as goethite. This study examined the influence of silicic acid (0.10 and 1.0 mM) on the adsorption kinetics of chromate (0.05 and 0.10 mM) on goethite over a range of common soil pH values (4, 6, and 8). The rate and total quantity of chromate adsorption decreased in all the experiments except at a pH value of 4 and a chromate concentration of 0.05 mM. The inhibition of chromate adsorption ranged from 3.1% (pH = 4, Si = 0.10 mM, chromate = 0.10 mM) to 83.3% (pH = 8, Si = 1.0 mM, chromate = 0.05 mM). The rate of chromate adsorption decreased with an increase in pH and silicic acid concentration. This was attributed to a reduction in the surface potential of goethite on silicic acid adsorption as well as a competition for surface sites. The presence of naturally occurring ligands such as silicic acid may be responsible for the enhanced mobility of chromate in natural systems and demonstrates the importance of competitive adsorption for evaluating the mobility of trace elements.

Removal of azo dye from water by magnetite adsorption-Fenton oxidation.

The aim of this study is to highlight the possibility of using powder magnetite adsorption-Fenton oxidation as a method for removal of azo dye acid red B (ARB) from water. The adsorption properties of magnetite powder towards ARB were studied. The oxidation of adsorbed ARB and regeneration of magnetite adsorbent at the same time by Fenton reagent (hydrogen peroxide [H2O2] + iron (II) [Fe2+]) in another treatment unit with a smaller volume was also investigated. The efficiency of Fenton oxidation of ARB was compared for the reaction carried out in solution and on magnetite. The magnetic separation method was used to recover magnetite after adsorption or regeneration. The results indicated that the adsorption rate was fast. The capacity was strongly dependent on pH and inorganic anions, and pH 3.8 was optimal for the adsorption of ARB. The adsorption can be described well using the Langmuir model. The oxidation was more efficient for ARB adsorbed on magnetite than in solution. The adsorption capacity of magnetite increased significantly after regeneration, which was the result of an increase in surface area of the adsorbent and change of elemental ratio (oxygen:iron [O:Fe]) on the surface. The maximum adsorption capacity for ARB was 32.4 mg/g adsorbent.

Adsorption of saliva-coated and just-harvested Streptococcus sanguis to saliva-coated hydroxyapatite beads.

It is possible that salivary proteins on bacterial cells have some influence on the adsorption of oral bacteria to the surface of oral tissues. The aim of this study was to clarify the influence of salivary proteins attached to the surface of Streptococcus sanguis ATCC 10556 (S. sanguis) on bacterial adsorption to hydroxyapatite beads treated with salivary proteins (S-HA beads). Just-harvested cells (N-system) and saliva-coated cells (C-system) were used. The results showed that adsorption to S-HA beads was gradually reduced by a covering of salivary proteins. No influence was observed on the adsorption of cells due to the presence of divalent cations, phosphate or EDTA when the N-system and C-system were compared. Though it was evident that hydrophobic bonding was involved in adsorption in the N-system, few such effects were observed in the C-system. Adsorption was inhibited to varying degrees by sugars in both systems. Pretreatment of cells with heat affected adsorption differently in the N-system and C-system. These findings suggest that salivary proteins attached to the bacterial cell surface may influence its adsorption to oral tissues.

In vitro adsorption of tilidine HCl by activated charcoal.

In vitro studies were carried out in order to determine the adsorption of tilidine HCl, a narcotic analgesic, by activated charcoal (max. adsorption capacity 185.5 mg/g of charcoal). The path of the adsorption isotherms at pH 1.2 and 7.5 suggests that the in vivo adsorption of tilidine HCl may be increased when the drug passes from the stomach to the intestine, unless the intestinal content exerts a displacing effect. Nevertheless, the adsorption was dependent on the quantity of activated charcoal used, becoming more complete when the quantity of activated charcoal was increased. The effects of additives on the adsorption capacity of activated charcoal were also investigated in vitro. Ethanol, sorbitol and sucrose significantly reduced drug adsorption, while cacao powder, milk and starch had no effect on tilidine adsorption. At an acid pH, Federa Activated Charcoal significantly adsorbed more drug than either Norit A or Activated Charcoal Merck.

Adsorption-desorption behavior of acetochlor to soils in the presence of some environmental substances.

The behavior of herbicide acetochlor adsorption-desorption to soil in the presence of humic acid (HA), anionic surfactant sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), cationic surfactant hexadecyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide (HDAB) and NH4NO3 as a chemical fertilizer was studied. Observed acetochlor adsorption isotherm were well described using Freundlich isotherm equation, from which the desorption isotherm equation has been deduced. The deduced equation can more directly describe acetochlor desorption process. The results showed that the enhance of acetochlor adsorption capacity by solid HA was greater than by soluble HA. The presence of NH4 NO3 can slightly enhance acetochlor adsorption to soil by comparison with that measured in NH4 NO3-free solution. In soil-water system, surfactant-acetochlor interaction is very complex, and the surfactant adsorptions as well as acetochlor adsorption need to be considered. When acetochlor-soil suspensions contained lower concentration SDBS or HDAB (40 mg/L), Kf for acetochlor adsorption was decreased in comparison to that measured in SDBS- or HDAB-free solution. When acetochlor-soil suspensions contained higher concentration SDBS or HDAB (corresponding 1400 mg/L or 200 mg/L), Kf for acetochlor adsorption was increased in comparison to that measured in SDBS- or HDAB-free solution.

Adsorption behavior of toxic tributyltin to clay-rich sediments under various environmental conditions.

The adsorption and desorption behavior of tributyltin (TBT) from aqueous solution to clay-rich sediments was studied under various conditions (pH, salinity) using the batch technique. Sediments containing illite, kaolinite, and montmorillonite in different proportions were used as sorbent materials. Several physicochemical parameters of the sediments (e.g., Brunauer-Emmett-Teller [BET] surface area, cation exchange capacity [CEC], total organic carbon [TOC]) were evaluated to assess the influence of sediment characteristics to the adsorption capacity for TBT Adsorption isotherms were linear over the concentration range of 100 to 1,000 ng(Sn)/ml. The adsorption coefficient (Kd) values range from 29 to 70 at the pH value generally found in marine systems (pH 8). The adsorption capacity shows a maximum in the range of pH 6 and 7. Salinity is also an important factor in controlling TBT adsorption. The strongest adsorption was observed at salinity of 0/1000, and it strongly decreases with increasing salinity. The adsorption mechanism is controlled by the properties of the clay minerals as well as the aquatic chemistry of TBT. Desorption takes place over the studied pH range (4-8) when contaminated samples interact with TBT-free water at given experimental conditions.
