研究目的
To develop a new method for preparing fluorescent microspheres with reactive sites for bioconjugation, using conjugated polymers covalently bonded to microspheres, and evaluate their effectiveness in flow cytometry-based applications.
研究成果
The study successfully developed a facile method for preparing fluorescent microspheres with reactive sites using conjugated polymers covalently bonded to APGMA microspheres. These microspheres exhibit good stability and effective bioconjugation, as demonstrated by flow cytometry with high double-positive percentages. This approach is promising for high-throughput applications like suspension arrays.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific conjugated polymers and microsphere types; scalability and cost for large-scale production are not addressed. The method may require optimization for other biomolecules or applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing two conjugated polymers (CP1 and CP2) with carboxylic groups via Sonogashira coupling and hydrolysis, then immobilizing them onto amino-modified poly(glycidylmethacrylate) (APGMA) microspheres through covalent bonding using EDC/NHS activation. This was followed by characterization and bioconjugation with FITC-labeled BSA.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
APGMA microspheres (5 μm diameter) were used as substrates. Conjugated polymers were synthesized in-house. BSA-FITC was prepared by labeling BSA with FITC.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Instruments included NMR spectrometer, GPC, FTIR spectrophotometer, UV-vis spectrophotometer, spectrofluorometer, SEM, LSCM, flow cytometer, TGA, and oscillator. Materials included THF, dioxane, EDC, NHS, FITC, BSA, and various buffers.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis of CPs, activation with EDC/NHS, immobilization onto APGMA microspheres, washing steps, preparation of BSA-FITC, bioconjugation reactions, and flow cytometry measurements with compensation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using flow cytometry for fluorescence detection and compensation, with statistical analysis from over 10,000 microspheres. Spectroscopic and microscopic techniques were used for characterization.
