  PURPOSE: There is a lack of information about the long-term stability of chitosan-based polyplexes although a large amount is known as regards transfection efficiency and physicochemical characteristics. The aim of this work is to study thetransfectionefficiency and physicochemical properties of chitosan-based polyplexes over time when stored at different temperatures in an acetate-buffer at pH 5.5. METHODS: Aqueous samples of chitosan-based polyplexes were aged at 4 degrees C,25 degrees C, and 45degrees C for up to 1 year. Samples weretaken at predetermined time-points and evaluated for in vitro transfection efficiency and physiochemical properties (particle size, zeta potential). RESULTS: One year of storage at 4degrees C did not result in any major changes in the properties of the polyplexes. At 25 degrees C there were minor changes in the physicochemical characteristics of the polyplexes, and the in vitro transfection efficiency was reduced at 1 year ofstorage. Storage at 45 degrees C altered both the in vitro transfection efficiency and the physicochemical propertiesof the polyplexes after a short time. CONCLUSIONS: The biologicaland physicochemical stability of the chitosan-based polyplexes are maintained for 1 year of storage inacetate-bufferat 4 degrees C. The changes in the polyplex characteristics at elevated temperatures may be explained by degradation of both plasmid and chitosan.

  The aim of this study was to investigate how a selection of formulation variables affects the in vitro transfection efficiency and physicochemical properties (particle size, zetapotential and chitosan–plasmid association) of chitosan-based polyplexes. Experimental designs in combination with multivariate data analysis were applied to reveal the effects of the formulation variables on the responses. The following formulation variables were studied: molecular weight and degree of acetylation of chitosan, pH and ionic strength of the buffer in which chitosan was dissolved, charge ratio of polyplexes, plasmid concentration and inclusion of a coacervation agent in the plasmid solution. The in vitro transfection efficiency in Epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells was affected by the polyplex charge ratio, the DNA concentration in the complexes as well as the molecular weight and degree of acetylation of the chitosans. Two favourable formulations were identified in a more thorough investigation. These formulations were made of SC113 (theoretical charge ratio 10) and SC214 (theoretical charge ratio 3). The size of the complexes was affected by the degree of acetylation, concentration of DNA, pH, inclusion of a coacervation agent and the charge ratio. The charge ratio, pH and ionic strength determined the zetapotential of the particles, while the charge ratio was important for the association between the plasmid and chitosan.

  Globular structures have been demonstrated in human parotid saliva by transmission electron microscopy and photon correlation spectroscopy . The aim this study was to fractionate these globular structures for analytical and preparative purposes using a gel-filtration material capable of separating spherical particles up to 300-400 nm in diamet er. Freshly obtained parotid saliva was applied to a Sephacryl S-1000 column.. Peak fractions were collected and prepared for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or for amino acid analysis. Bovine milk wa s included as the casein micelles by TEM appear to be similar to the salivary aggregates and their elution profiles are known. The salivar y globular structures were eluted in one major peak. TEM of negativel y stained samples from the peak fractions demonstrated globular prote in aggregates consistent with the salivary structures in parotid sali va. Amino acid analysis showed characteristic amino acid profiles wit h unusual high levels of proline, 40-45%. The casein micelles were e luted in one major peak and separated from the whey proteins. This st udy indicates that the salivary globular structures can be isolated b y gel chromatography. The a

  The hypothesis to be tested in this in-vitro study was that the salivary micelle-like globules (SMGs) have a role in the agglutination of some oral bacteria. An attempt to determine the mechanisms for the interactions involved was also carried out. 4 laboratory and 4 native streptococci strains were tested. Human whole (HWS) and parotid (HPS) saliva was collected from 4 subjects, SMGs were isolated from both salivas, and agglutination was recorded in the various bacterial suspensions over time. HPS, HWS, and SMGs isolated from HPS and HWS caused typical agglutination patterns for the mutans strains. Salivary supernatants (without SMGs) caused a much delayed, or no agglutination at all. Electron microscopy showed SMG-like structures on the surface of the agglutinated bacteria. Addition of pyrophosphate to HPS prevented agglutination, whereas guanidine HCl prevented normal agglutination of a sanguis strain, and urea had no obvious effect. Together, these results indicate that the SMGs are important in the agglutination of streptococci, and that both calcium-dependent, electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions may be involved.

  The zeta potential of human enamel is of physiological importance for interactions between enamel surfaces and the surrounding aqueous medium of saliva. The zeta potentials of both enamel and hydroxyapatite (HA) have been studied previously by various techniques. In this study we examined the zeta potential of human enamel and HA using the Coulter® DELSA 440, which by a laser, makes independent Doppler shift measurements of moving particles in an electric field at 4 different angles, providing advantages over previous techniques. The enamel and HA particles were suspended directly in different phosphate buffers, or first incubated for 2 h in parotid (PS) or whole saliva (HWS) and then suspended in the same buffers. The enamel and HA particles exhibited an overall net surface potential of -17 to -30 mV, dependent on buffer content. Incubation in PS and HWS gave less negative potentials of -8 to -14 mV. In our previous studies, the salivary micelle-like structures (SMSs) seen in TEM of parotid saliva, were observed to have a zeta potential of -9 mV (Rykke et al., 1996). The zeta potential determinations in this study support the concept of an adsorption of mostly SMSs to the enamel surfaces, with a change of the zeta potential of the enamel and HA towards that of the SMSs.

  Globular protein aggregates have been demonstrated in human parotid s aliva by transmission electron microscopy. Photon correlation spectro scopy indicates these structure to be about 100 - 200 nm in diameter. The globular structures exhibit the characteristics of micelle-like structures as they have a net negative surface charge and may be stai ned by lipid soluble dyes, thus exhibiting structural similarities to the casein micelles. There is reason to assume that the salivary str uctures are important in oral physiology by providing lubrication of oral tissues, maintaining calcium supersaturation of saliva and by pe rforming bacterial agglutination. The salivary structures are assumed to be the result of interactions of amphiphilic salivary proteins wi th structural similarities to the caseins of milk. The aim of this st udy was to isolate the salivary globular protein structures by gel-fi ltration for preparative and analytical purposes and to compare them to the casein micelles. Conclusions -Globular structures of human s aliva (Salivary micelle-like structures) appear to be structural simi lar to the casein micelles of milk. -The salivary micelle-like struct ures may also be isolated b
