CoatingProcedure
- Add5mlofsterile0.01NHClsolutiontothePureCol®serumvialcontaining15mg.
- Gentlymixcontentsuntilmaterialiscompletelysolubilized.Itmaybenecessarytoagitateat2to10°Covernight.
- Transferdesiredvolumeofsolutionfromtheserumvialtoadilutionvesselifrequired.Furtherdilutetodesiredconcentrationusingsterile0.01NHClsolution.Atypicalworkingconcentrationmayrangefrom50to100ug/ml.Note:Usetheserecommendationsasguidelinestodeterminetheoptimalcoatingconditionsforyourculturesystem.
- AddappropriateamountofdilutedPureCol®materialtotheculturesurface.
- Incubateatroomtemperature,covered,for1-2hours.Aspirateanyremainingmaterial.Alternatively,incubateatroomtemperatureuntilsurfaceisdry.
- Afterincubation,aspirateanyremainingmaterial.
- RinsecoatedsurfacescarefullywithsterilemediumorPBS,avoidscratchingsurfaces.

ProductQ&A
WecompletedastudytoshowthatDNAiscompletelydestroyedatpH2,anddemonstratedthatourcollagenproductsdonotcontainDNA.
Thecollagenisfullyhydrolyzed.TheaminoacidanalysisisdoneusingtheWatersAccQ-Tagderivatizationmethod.Duringtheacidhydrolysisstep,asparagine(N)isconvertedtoasparticacid(D)andglutamine(Q)isconvertedtoglutamicacid(E).Tryptophan(W),ifpresent,isdestroyedduringacidhydrolysis.Experimentally,onecandeterminethepicomoles(pmol)ofeachaminoacidperinjecteddetectedusingaminoacidstandards.Fortheconcentrationdetermination,thetotalnumberofpmolofeachaminoacidissummedtogetthetotalpmolofthe18aminoacidsdetected.Thetotalpmolaminoacidsisdividedbythetheoreticalnumberofaminoacidresiduesincollagenbasedonthepublishedsequence.Theresultisthepmolofcollageninjected.Theresultisthenmultipliedbythedilutionand300,000isusedasthecollagenmolecularweighttogettomg/mL.Themolecularweightofcollagenisnotwellagreedupon.
Dilutingwith1XPBS(ratherthanwateror0.01NHCl)wouldhaveaneffectforcoatingpurposes.ItwouldchangethepHofthedilutedcollagensolutionfromacidtoneutralpH.ThepHchangewilltransformthecollagenmoleculesfromamolecularformtoafibrillarform;andthenthenatureofcoatingsurfacewillbechangedfromamonomericcoatingtoafibrillarcoating.
WeusethefollowingantibodiesfromSouthernBiotech:

3.7100-05–Streptavidin-HRP
ThemajorcollagenmolecularspeciesinourTypeIcollagenproductsaremonomers(approx.70%),buttherearedimers,trimersandafewpercentagesofoligomerstoo(approx.30%)withsomeminoramountsofcollagenfragments.Thecollagenmonomerisarodshapedmoleculewith300nminlengthand1.5nmindiameter.Thedimer,trimerandoligomerare600nm,900nmandevenlongerinlengthrespectively.Accordingtothecoatingprocedures,thecollagenmoleculesareattachedtothechargedpolystyrenesurfacerandomlybychargeoraffinityinacidconditionsduringthe1-2hrsincubationperiodat37°C,andanyunattachedmaterialsareremovedbyaspirationandrinsing.Therefore,thecoatedsurfaceisasinglelayerofcollagenmonomer,dimer,trimerandoligomermixtures.Thethicknessofthemono-molecularlayerisdependentonhowthosemoleculesareattachedonthesurface.Thecoatingdensitythicknesswouldgenerallybecharacterizedasa1moleculethicknesswhichcouldberangingfromafewnanometerstoafewhundrednanometerswiththewholesurfacebeingcoveredbycollagen.
ThenetchargeofTypeIcollagenproducts’(PureCol®,BovineCollagenandVitroCol®,HumanCollagen)moleculeisdirectlyrelatedtothepH.AtanacidicpH,theaminoacids(zwitterions)alongthecollagenmoleculearepositivelycharged,makingtheentirecollagenmoleculepositive.Attheisoelectricpoint(orzone)ofcollagen,aroundpH7-8,theaminoacidsalongthecollagenmoleculearepositivelyandnegativelycharged,makingthenetchargeofthecollagenmoleculeclosetozero.AtabasicpH,theaminoacidsalongthecollagenmoleculewerenegativelycharged,makingtheentirecollagenmoleculenegative.
Further,thenatureofthechargeofthecollagencoatingsurfacewillbedependentonthetypeofcoatingapplied.ForamonomericcollagencoatingswhenthecollagenisappliedunderanacidicpHcondition,thesurfaceispositivelycharged.IfthesurfaceisrinsedwithpHneutralbufferormediathenitwillchangethechargeofthecollagensurfacenetchargeclosetozero.Fora3Dgelcoating,thecollagenpreparedunderneutralpH;thenetchargeofthecollagensurfaceisclosetozero.
