General description

Poly-L-arginine hydrochloride (PLA) is a homopolyamino acid. PLA enhances membrane permeability compared to poly-L-lysine. It has applications as drug carrier, neuroprotective agent and in anticancer vaccines preparations. Peptide vaccines in conjugation with PLA promotes antigen-presenting cells (APCs) to generate T cell and elicit immunostimulant functionality.

Application

Poly-L-arginine hydrochloride has been used:
  • to generate complex with stimulatory RNA isRNA9.2 as in neutrophils
  • used in ribosomal RNA transfection into human monocytic THP-1 cells
  • for coating alginate capsule beads

Quality

Contains 3% or less ornithine residue.

Analysis Note

Molecular weight based on viscosity of precursor poly-L-ornithine. Also assayed by MALLS.

Recently, layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly has emerged as a versatile, gentle and, simple method for immobilization of functional molecules in an easily controllable thin film morphology.1,2 In this short review, we introduce recent advances in functional systems fabricated by using the mild, yet adaptable LbL technique.

Humankind has utilized protein materials throughout its existence, starting with the use of materials such as wool and silk for warmth and protection from the elements and continuing with the use of recombinant DNA techniques to synthesize proteins with unique and useful properties.
