Tris(3-mercaptopropyl)-N-glycylaminomethane as a new linker to bridge antibody with metal particles for biological cell separations.
2000
Conjugates of nickel beads with CD8 and anti-red blood cell KC16 antibody were prepared by using the aminotrithiolate “spider” ligand, tris(3-mercaptopropyl)-N-glycylaminomethane, in its new function as a linker between the surface of nickel beads and antibody via activation of spider ligand attached to nickel beads with the common, heterobifunctional cross-linker, sulfosuccinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (sulfo-SMCC). Raw nickel beads were cleaned by either mild sonication in a bath or by stronger probe sonication to remove surface nickel oxide layers, before attachment of the spider ligand. Scanning electron micrographs of the nickel beads before and after probe sonication showed a marked change from a corrugated to a smooth bead surface. Analyses of the supernatants of conjugation mixtures for antibody gave surface densities of 2.5−5.2 mg/m2 for CD8 and 0.6−12 mg/m2 for KC16 antibody runs. The antibody-spider-nickel bead conjugates were used in magnetic bead depletions of target...
