Photografting of albumin onto dimethyldichlorosilane-coated glass.
4-Azido-2-nitrophenyl albumin (ANP-albumin) was prepared by displacing the fluoro group of 4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl azide (FNPA) by an amino group of albumin. Photolysis of phenyl azides of ANP-albumin was studied by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The band of phenyl azide disappeared completely after a 12-min exposure to long wave UV light (366 nm), and the photolysis was first-order. Albumin was grafted onto dimethyldichlorosilane-coated glass (DDS-glass) by photolysis of the azido groups of ANP-albumin without any premodification of the surface. The albumin-grafted DDS-glass was characterized by determining the relative amount of nitrogen resulting from the grafted albumin on the surface using electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA). The amount of nitrogen increased when the concentration of ANP-albumin in the adsorption solution increased up to 0.1 mg/ml. As the solution concentration increased above this value, the amount of nitrogen decreased. The platelet resistance of the albumin-grafted surfaces was evaluated by measuring the number of adherent platelets and the extent of activation that was quantitated by the area of platelets spread on the surfaces. The maximum platelet-resistant effect was observed when the ANP-albumin was adsorbed for more than 50 min at the solution concentration ranging from 0.05 to 10 mg/ml.
