We present here, a new method for coupling sulfhydryl groups (SH) to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) surface. This method uses homocysteine thiolactone (HCTL) which reacts with lysine residues in a very mild manner, and permits the selection of the number of SH bound per LDL. Under our experimental conditions (8 SH/LDL), the affinity of thiolated LDL for the specific receptors and their further internalization by L2C lymphocytes are preserved.
我们在此展示一种将巯基(SH)偶联至低密度脂蛋白(LDL)表面的新方法。该方法使用高半胱氨酸硫内酯(HCTL),它能以非常温和的方式与赖氨酸残基反应,并允许选择每个LDL结合的SH数量。在我们的实验条件下(8个SH/LDL),硫醇化LDL对特定受体的亲和力及其被L2C淋巴细胞的进一步内化得以保留。
