Isoosmotic solutions: cells (C01) • Nycodenz®: Dissolve 27.6 g powder in 3 mM KCl 5mM Tricine/HEPES buffer ( = 1.15 g/ml); make further dilutions with buffered saline, culture medium etc. • Iodixanol: Dilute OptiPrep™ with buffered saline, culture medium etc. • Percoll®: first mix 9 vol. with 1 vol. of 10X saline
Axis-Shield Density Gradient Media • Synthesised as X-ray imaging agents • Diatrizoate, Nycodenz® and iodixanol have been clinically tested as X-ray imaging agents Produced under pharmacological conditions: FDA and EU cGMP compliance • Endotoxin: <1 EU/ml (European standard) • Endotoxin: measured levels <0.13 EU/ml
What is endotoxin? • Endotoxin is a heat-resistant pyrogen (sometimes called lipopolysaccharide), which is released by Gram-negative bacteria.
What are the effects of endotoxin in vivo? • A variety of inflammatory responses • Hypotension • Changes to leukocyte populations • Intravascular coagulation • Shock • Death
What are the effects of endotoxin in vitro? • Interacts with CD14 and other receptors • Causes cytokine production in monocytes and macrophages • Activates complement and coagulation cascades • Acts as a B cell mitogen
Percoll® problems I • High levels of endotoxin (6-60 EU/ml) • Some free polyvinylpyrollidone (PVP) • PVP toxic to cells • More expensive versions with reduced endotoxin levels or PVP-free
Is Percoll® innocuous to cells?Wakefield, J.S. et al (1982) Biochem. J. 202, 795-797 • Peritoneal macrophages, rat liver Kupffer cells, rat testis Leydig cells ingest large numbers of colloidal silica particles at room temperature • Colloidal silica particles adhere to cell surface at all temperatures • Affects adherence of macrophages
Percoll® problems: II • Toxicity to Type II lung pneumocytes:Viscardi RM et al (1992) Exp. Lung Res., 18, 225-245 • Poor recoveries of gastric parietal cells; stimul-ation of acid and cAMP secretion:Benn, SE et al (1987) J. Physiol. 391, 9P • Toxicity to progenitor cells:Mayanagi, T et al (2003) Reproduction, 125, 667-675 • Adherence of silica to erythrocytes causes progressive haemolysis: Kamiyama M. (2002) Personal communication
Percoll® problems: III • Poor recovery and function of soil bacteria: Robe, P et al (2003) Eur. J. Soil Biol., 39, 183-190 • Poor viability of plasmodium: Carter, EH et al (1987) Parasitology, 95, 25-30 • Poor yield and purity of intracellular bacteria: Henriquez, V. et al (2003) Appl. Environ. Microbiol., 69, 6268-6271 • Phagocytosed by sea urchin cells: Gross, PS et al (2000) Immunogenetics, 51, 1034-1044
