Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-graft-polypropylene membranes containing adsorbed antibody for cell separation.
We developed a novel selective cell-separation method based on using a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-graft-polypropylene (PNIPAAm-g-PP) membrane containing adsorbed monoclonal antibody specific to the target cell. This membrane was prepared by plasma-induced polymerization and soaking in an antibody solution at 37 degrees C. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) has a thermoresponsive phase transition: at 32 degrees C water-insoluble (hydrophobic) and water-soluble (hydrophilic) states interconvert. Adsorption of antibody onto PNIPAAm-g-PP membrane at 37 degrees C and its desorption at 4 degrees C was verified by fluorescence-microscopy of the PNIPAAm-g-PP membrane after soaking it in fluorescein-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG in phosphate-buffered saline. PNIPAAm-g-PP membranes containing adsorbed anti-mouse CD80 monoclonal antibody preferentially captured mouse-CD80 transfected cells at 37 degrees C compared with membranes lacking antibody or containing anti-mouse CD86 monoclonal antibody. Detachment of captured cells from PNIPAAm-g-PP membranes was facilitated by washing at 4 degrees C because of the thermoresponsive phase transition of PNIPAAm. With this method, mouse CD80- or mouse CD86-transfected cells were enriched from a 1:1 cell suspension to 72% or 66%, simply and with high yield.
