PG - 412-6 AB - Immobilization of proteins on microplate wells by simple adsorption (e.g., for ELISA) is convenient, but it can be inefficient, especially if proteins are hydrophilic or small in size. This problem was alleviated by the use of polyvinylbenzyl lactonoylamide (PVLA). PVLA is strongly adsorbed to the hydrophobic well surface, and its lactonamide part can be oxidized with periodate to generate aldehydo groups. Proteins are then immobilized covalently to the aldehydo groups by reductive amination under mild conditions. Using this method, henceforth termed the PVLA method, alkaline phosphatase (AP) was immobilized to microplates six- to sevenfold greater than by simple adsorption (as measured by activity). Similarly, the activity of immobilized mannose-binding protein A (MBP-A) was 4- to 8-fold higher by the PVLA method than by simple adsorption. The PVLA-coated plates needed as little as 200 ng of MBP-A per well to have a sufficient amount of MBP-A immobilized for the measurement of binding of 125I-labeled mannosylated bovine serum albumin (125I-Man-BSA), but unmodified plates required as much as 20 micrograms/well MBP-A to obtain the same response. Recommended conditions for the PVLA method are 40 microliters of 2 mg/ml of PVLA for coating, 1 mM NaIO4 for the generation of the aldehydo groups, and a 2-h reductive amination at 37 degrees C between pH 8 and 9 for the protein ligation.
