Abstract

The DNA adsorption properties of poly‐L‐lysine‐immobilized poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) membrane were investigated. The pHEMA membrane was prepared by UV‐initiated photopolymerization and activated with epichlorohydrin. Poly‐L‐lysine was then immobilized on the activated pHEMA membrane by covalent bonding, via a direct chemical reaction between the amino group of poly‐L‐lysine and the epoxy group of pHEMA. The poly‐L‐lysine content of the membrane was determined as 1537 mg m^−2^. The poly‐L‐lysine‐immobilized membrane was utilized as an adsorbent in DNA adsorption experiments. The maximum adsorption of DNA on the poly‐L‐lysine‐immobilized pHEMA membrane was observed at 4 °C from phosphate‐buffered salt solution (pH 7.4, 0.1 M; NaCl 0.5 M) containing different amounts of DNA. The non‐specific adsorption of DNA on the plain pHEMA membrane was low (about 263 mg m^−2^). Higher DNA adsorption values (up to 5849 mg m^−2^) were obtained in which the poly‐L‐lysine‐immobilized pHEMA membrane was used. Copyright © 2003 Society of Chemical Industry

We have developed a potentially fibrinolytic surface in which a bioinert polymer is used as a spacer to immobilize lysine such that the e-amino group is free to capture plasminogen when in contact with blood. Adsorbed plasminogen can be activated to plasmin and potentially dissolve nascent clots fo
