Analysis of Serum Proteins Adsorbed to a Hemodialysis Membrane of Hollowfiber Type by Thermal Lens Microscopy

Abstract: To analyze serum proteins adsorbed to a hemodialysis membrane, immunostaining with colloidal gold and thermal-lens microscopy were employed. A total of 14 types of hemodialysis membranes were tested. The cross sections of the membranes were stained with fluorescent antibodies. Observations of these specimens using a laser microscope revealed that serum proteins, such as albumin and immuno globulins, tended to adsorb into the inner wall of these membranes. The degree of adsorption of serum proteins varied accor… Show more

“…perature rise is negligible, it is possible to obtain in vitro, nonlabeled images. TLM imaging has also been demonstrated for measuring tobramycin on a renal tubular cell (12), histamine on a nasal mucous membrane polyp (1), and serum protein in a hollow-fiber membrane (13). One-dimensional scanning of DNA fragments in a miniaturized slab gel has been realized (10,11).…”

“…In addition, it is known that TLM is not strongly affected by scattering of the laser beam by membranes and particles in cells . We have reported some applications of TLM to imaging of biological samples such as sliced tissues or the outside of a cell membrane using several probing materials. , There are, however, no reports about molecular distribution imaging inside of a cell, nor analysis of intact live cells with TLM.…”

“…Immunochemical staining with fluorescence, however, still has some problems, because fluorescence is liable to fade and biomaterials are often inactivated by fluorescence labeling. For more satisfactory quantitative analysis of cell surface substances, we employed immunogold staining and measured the stained cells with a thermal lens microscope. , The principle of thermal lens microscopy is based on the measurement of a laser-induced thermal lens effect, which occurs on the target molecules of the sample under a microscope . Localized molecules, when stained with colloidal gold, absorb the excitation laser.…”
