title: Stabilization of a human recombinant factor VIII by poloxamer 188 in relation to polysorbate 80.
abstract: Detection of enhanced surface tension depression by surfactant in the presence of protein was recently suggested as a basis for determining whether protein stabilization by that surfactant is owing to surfactant forming a steric barrier at interfaces or surfactant association with the protein. In particular, protein interaction with surfactant aggregates may lead to an increased concentration of monomers thus enhancing surfactant adsorption, or to formation of surfactant-protein complexes having little or no effect on adsorption. We compared the initial rates of surface tension depression by poloxamer 188 and polysorbate 80 (PS 80) in the presence and absence of a human recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII). Indirect evidence had suggested poloxamer 188 enters into stable associations with rFVIII in solution but does not form a steric barrier at the interface, while PS 80 behaves in contrary fashion. In this study, we show the presence of rFVIII caused an increase in the rate (reduction in the activation energy) of PS 80 adsorption, while no such change was recorded in the case of poloxamer 188. Thus, we provide substantiation for detection of protein-mediated acceleration of surfactant adsorption as a means to compare different surfactants in relation to their favored mechanism for protein stabilization.
