Notizen:
The latex particles composed of poly(styrene/N-isopropylacrylamide/glycidyl methacrylate) [P(St/NIPAM/GMA)] and poly(styrene/N-isopropylacrylamide/methacrylic acid) [P(St/NIPAM/MAA)] were prepared by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization. These latex particles with submicrometer size showed the thermosensitivity originated from the thermo-sensitive nature of NIPAM. That is, the minimum NaCI concentration for flocculation of these latex particles [critical flocculation concentration (CFC)] decreased significantly with increasing temperature and reached constant values at above the critical temperature [critical flocculation temperature (CFT)]. At a certain NaCl concentration, the thermo-sensitive latex particles were flocculated by raising temperature, and conversely, the flocculated thermo-sensitive latex particles were completely dispersed by lowering temperature. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was covalently immobilized onto the P(St/NIPAM/GMA) and P(St/NIPAM/MMA) latex particles with high efficiency. The BSA-immobilized P(St/NIPAM/GMA) and P(St/NIPAM/MAA) latex particles (immunomicrospheres) showed the similar dependencies of CFC on temperature to the bare latex particles. These thermo-sensitive immunomicrospheres were successfully used for the immunoaffinity purification of anti-BSA antibodies from antiserum. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
