Blood serum protein sorption on the surface of perfluorocarbon emulsion particles

Abstract

The amount of protein bound per 1 mL of the perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsion depends on the emulsifier composition and the particle size. A relationship between the amount of bound protein on the particle surface and the physicochemical parameters of the PFC emulsion interaction with the blood serum, which indirectly characterize the surface properties of the PFC particles, is established. 662 0091-150X/07/4112-0662
