Popis: Thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based polymer particles were synthesised, and screened for the adsorption of human immunoglobulin G (hIgG). At pH 9 the adsorption on microgel particles was strongly affected by temperature, approximately 40 mg hIgG/g support (90% of initial hIgG) being adsorbed at 40 degrees C but only 10% of initial hIgG at 25 degrees C. At pH 5 the maximum adsorbed amount (20 mg hIgG/g support) was similar for both temperatures. The adsorption of hIgG on to charged poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) core-shell latexes was negligible (5-10 mg hIgG/g support) at the same temperature and pH conditions. The lower adsorption of hIgG onto the core-shell particles is explained by steric interactions due to the small size of the shell.
