    Notes: Pseudomonas putida biofilms were developed on and biofilm accumulation rate data were obtained for the following two classes of support materials: charged surfaces and noncharged hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. The effects of surface roughness and porosity on the rate of microbial attachment were also examined.Materials bearing a net positive or negative surface charge supported the greatest biofilm accumulation and the highest biofilm accumulation rate. Uncharged hydrophobic materials achieved the next greatest biofilm accumulation, averaging approximately 50% of the total biomass which was accumulated on the charged surface materials after 16 days. Uncharged hydrophilic materials supported very little biofilm development. In general, biofilm accumulation increased with decreased surface roughness. The effect of pore size on biofilm accumulation was not conclusive.The biofilm accumulation kinetics showed an exponential accumulation rate for the charged surfaces and an approximately linear accumulation rate for the hydrophobic materials. This difference in accumulation kinetics is consistent with proposed differences in the physicochemical mechanism governing attachment to these two types of surface materials.

    Notes: HEMA/styrene (HEMA/STY) block copolymers and poly(ethylene oxide) 4,000 M.W. (PEO4K) grafted Biomer (B-PEO4K) surfaces have been synthesized, characterized, and evaluated as blood-contacting materials. These surfaces have demonstrated improved blood compatibility, compared to Biomer, in in vitro and ex vivo experiments. Biomer vascular grafts (6 mm I.D. 7 cm in length) were fabricated by a dip coating process. The luminal surface was modified either with PEO grafting, HEMA/STY coating, or Biomer coating (control). These surface-modified grafts were implanted in the abdominal aortas of dogs and evaluated for graft patency and protein adsorption.Surface protein layer thickness was measured by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). B-PEO4K and Biomer showed thick multilayers of adsorbed proteins (1000-2000 Å) after 3 weeks to 1 month implantation. In contrast, HEMA/STY only showed a monolayer protein thickness (〈200 Å), even after 3 months.Visualization of adsorbed plasma proteins (albumin, IgG, and fibrinogen) was performed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/TEM using an immunogold double antibody technique. The pattern of protein distribution showed high concentrations of fibrinogen and IgG, and less albumin adsorbed onto Biomer and B-PEO4K. In contrast, HEMA/STY showed a patchy protein distribution pattern with high concentrations of albumin and IgG, and relatively less fibrinogen.Adsorbed monolayer patterns showed improved compatibility over multilayered proteins. The Biomer and B-PEO4K grafts occluded within 1 month, while HEMA/STY grafts were patent for over 3 months. The thin and stable adsorbed protein layer on HEMA/STY surfaces may be associated with the microdomain structures of the surface, and will play an important role in long-term in vivo blood compatibility. This manuscript will evaluate the long-term in vivo performance of these polymers, analyze the extent of protein adsorption onto the surfaces, and correlate protein layer thickness to the thrombogenicity of the polymer surfaces.

    Notes: A new version of the MRC-5 two-dimensional gel cellular protein database (Celis et al., Electrophoresis 1989, 10, 76-115) is presented. Gels were scanned with a Molecular Dynamics laser scanner and processed by the PDQUEST IITM software. A total of 1895 [35S]methionine-labeled cellular polypeptides (1323 with isoelectric focusing and 572 with nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis) are recorded in this database, containing quantitative and qualitative data on the relative abundance of cellular proteins synthesized by quiescent, proliferating and SV40 transformed MRC-5 fibroblasts. Of the 592 proteins quantitated so far, the levels of 138 were up-or down- regulated (51 and 87, respectively) by two times or more in the transformed cells as compared to their normal proliferating counterparts, while only 14 behaved similarly in quiescent cells. Seven MRC-5 SV40 proteins, including plastin and two interferon-induced proteins, were not detected in the master MRC-5 images. The identity of 36 of the transformation-sensitive proteins whose levels are up or down regulated by two times or more was determined and additional information can be transferred from the master transformed human epithelial amnion cells (AMA) database (Celis et al., Electrophoresis 1990, 11, 989-1071) for those polypeptides of known and unknown identity that have been matched to AMA polypeptides. As more information is gathered in this and other laboratories, including data on oncogene proteins and transcription factors, this comprehensive database will outline an integrated picture of the expression levels and properties of the thousands of protein components of organelles, pathways and cytoskeletal systems that may be directly or indirectly involved in properties associated with the transformed state.

    Notes: The master two-dimensional gel database of human AMA cells currently lists 3801 cellular and secreted proteins, of which 371 cellular polypeptides (306 IEF; 65 NEPHGE) were added to the master images during the last 10 months. These include: (i) very basic and acidic proteins that do not focus under normal running conditions and (ii) low-abundant proteins that can only be detected after prolonged gel exposure. Annotation categories updated in this version include “protein name”, “antibody against protein”, “cellular localization”, and “microsequenced proteins”. New entries include “human autoantigens” and “cDNAs”. For convenience we have included an alphabetical list of all known proteins recorded in this database. In the long run, the main goal of this database is to link protein and DNA sequencing and mapping information (Human Genome Program) and to provide an integrated picture of the expression levels and properties of the thousands of proteins that orchestrate various cellular functions both under physiological and abnormal conditions.

    Notes: A two-dimensional (2-D) gel database of cellular proteins from noncultured, unfractionated normal human epidermal keratinocytes has been established. A total of 2651 [35S]methionine-labeled cellular proteins (1868 isoelectric focusing, 783 nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis) were resolved and recorded using computer-aided 2-D gel electrophoresis. The protein numbers in this database differ from those reported in an earlier version due to changes in the scanning hardware (Celis et al., Electrophoresis 1990, 11, 242-254). Annotation categories reported include: “protein name” (listing 207 known proteins in alphabetical order), “basal cell markers”, “differentiation markers”, “proteins highly up-regulated in psoriatic skin”, “microsequenced proteins” and “human autoantigens”. For reference, we have also included 2-D gel (isoelectric focusing) patterns of cultured normal and psoriatic keratinocytes, melanocytes, fibroblasts, dermal microvascular endothelial cells, peripheral blood mononuclear cells and sweat duct cells. The keratinocyte 2-D gel protein database will be updated yearly in the November issue of Electrophoresis.

    Notes: Poly(para-xylylene)(PPX)/carbon fiber towpregs were produced by two different in-situ polymerization processes: Electrochemcal polymerization (ECP) and vapor deposition polymerization (VDP). The monomer used for the ECP process was α, α′ -dibromo-para-xylylene and di-para-xylylene was the starting material for the VDP process. A series of tests, including FTIR, WAXD, DSC, TG, and SEM were carried out to identify and compare these two composite towpregs. It has been confirmed that the PPX samples obtained by the two different polymerization processes were basically chemically identical. However, the polymer coating on the fiber surface produced by the VDP process was much smoother than that produced by the ECP process, which produced a porous coating.

    Notes: A highly reproducible, commercial and nonlinear, wide-range immobilized pH gradient (IPG) was used to generate two-dimensional (2-D) gel maps of [35S]methionine-labeled proteins from noncultured, unfractionated normal human epidermal keratinocytes. Forty one proteins, common to most human cell types and recorded in the human keratinocyte 2-D gel protein database were identified in the 2-D gel maps and their isoelectric points (pI) were determined using narrow-range IPGs. The latter established a pH scale that allowed comparisons between 2-D gel maps generated either with other IPGs in the first dimension or with different human protein samples. Of the 41 proteins identified, a subset of 18 was defined as suitable to evaluate the correlation between calculated and experimental pI values for polypeptides with known composition. The variance calculated for the discrepancies between calculated and experimental pI values for these proteins was 0.001 pH units. Comparison of the values by the t-test for dependent samples (paired test) gave a p-level of 0.49, indicating that there is no significant difference between the calculated and experimental pI values. The precision of the calculated values depended on the buffer capacity of the proteins, and on average, it improved with increased buffer capacity. As shown here, the widely available information on protein sequences cannot, a priori, be assumed to be sufficient for calculating pI values because post-translational modifications, in particular N-terminal blockage, pose a major problem. Of the 36 proteins analyzed in this study, 18-20 were found to be N-terminally blocked and of these only 6 were indicated as such in databases. The probability of N-terminal blockage depended on the nature of the N-terminal group. Twenty six of the preteins had either M, S or A as N-terminal amino acids and of these 17-19 were blocked. Only 1 in 10 proteins containing other N-terminal groups were blocked.

    Notes: The master two-dimensional gel database of human keratinocytes currently lists 2980 cellular proteins (2098 isoelectric focusing, IEF; and 882 nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis, NEPHGE) many of which correspond to posttranslational modifications. About 20% of all recorded proteins have been identified (protein name, organelle components, etc.) and they are listed in alphabetical order together with their Mr, pI, cellular localization and credit to the investigator(s) that aided in the identification. Also, we have listed 145 microsequenced proteins that are recorded in this database. As an aid in localizing the polypeptides we have included blow-ups of the master images (IEF, NEPHGE) displaying all the protein numbers. In the long run, the master keratinocyte database is expected to link protein and DNA sequencing and mapping information (Human Genome Program) and to provide an integrated picture of the expression levels and properties of the thousands of proteins that orchestrate various keratinocyte functions both in health and disease.
