Analysis Note

Molecular weight based on viscosity. Also assayed by MALLS.

Application

Poly-L-lysine hydrobromide has been used to precoat glass bottom dishes used for in vitro cell culture.
Recommended as a cell culture substratum when using 0.5 ml of a 0.1 mg/ml solution to coat 25 cm2. Optimal conditions for attachment must be determined for each cell line and application.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Poly-L-lysine serves as a pre-coating substance to ensure better attachment of cells to culture surfaces. Research shows that plates coated with poly-L-lysine (PLL) demonstrated an accelerated cell growth rate. Culturing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on PLL-coated substrates has been found to safeguard the stemness properties of these cells and inhibit senescence. PLL-coated plates have demonstrated enhanced MSC growth and up-regulated the expression of genes associated with cell adhesion, differentiation, proliferation, and signaling. Moreover, porous PLL-coated surfaces have shown improvements in cell proliferation and the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs.

Disclaimer

Sterile solutions are stable for up to 2 years when stored at 2-8°C. It should be stored desiccated at -20°C.

General description

Poly-L-lysine is a positively charged amino acid polymer with approximately one HBr per lysine residue. The hydrobromide allows the poly-L-lysine to be in a crystalline form soluble in water. A small amount of product may be found in the beta structure because the HBr interferes with hydrogen bonding between amino and either the carboxyl groups or N or O containing moieties.
