![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Protein concentration and adsorption time effects on fibrinogen adsorption at heparinized silica interfaces Protein concentration and adsorption time effects on fibrinogen adsorption at heparinized silica interfaces](/preview/png/602868.png)
Heparin was modified with adipic dihydrazide and covalently linked to surface-activated silica wafers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used at each stage of derivatization and showed that successful immobilization had taken place. Surfaces were imaged with atomic force microscopy to determine the uniformity of the heparin layer as well as its thickness. In situ ellipsometry was used to estimate layer thickness as well, and to study protein concentration and adsorption time effects on the adsorption and elution kinetics exhibited by human plasma fibrinogen. The adsorbed amount of fibrinogen increased with time and concentration on each type of surface. Under all experimental conditions, fibrinogen adsorbed at a lower rate and to a lower extent on heparinized as compared to unheparinized silica. In addition, buffer elution experiments showed that fibrinogen was less tightly bound to heparinized silica. In order to examine behavior relative to fibrinogen mobility at these interfaces, the sequential adsorption of fibrinogen was recorded. The difference in adsorption rates between the first and second adsorption cycles, evaluated at identical mass density, indicated that post-adsorptive molecular rearrangements had taken place. In general, higher solution concentration and longer adsorption time in the first adsorption step led to more rearrangement, and these history dependent effects were more pronounced on the heparinized silica. These rearrangements are suggested to involve clustering of adsorbed fibrinogen, in this way increasing the amount of unoccupied area at the interface. These rearrangements were presumably facilitated on the heparinized silica by enhanced lateral mobility of fibrinogen at this negatively charged, highly hydrophilic interface.
