Abstract

Sorbic acid has a system of conjugated double bonds which makes it able to undergo nucleophilic addition reactions with certain functions. The interactions between sorbic acid and amine functions present in the endogenous constituents of food were quantified. The formation of new products was demonstrated and the underlying mechanisms studied using ethyl sorbate and various amines. HPLC, GC, GC-SM and NMR analyses of the reaction mixtures enabled the products to be isolated and identified. The addition reactions led, at 20 degrees C, to linear monoadducts and, at 50 degrees C and 80 degrees C, to cyclic derivatives resulting from double addition.

Engrafting costimulator molecules onto tumor cell surfaces with chelator lipids: a potentially convenient approach in cancer vaccine development.

The genetic modification of cells to develop cell-based vaccines and to modulate immune responses in vivo can be risky and inconvenient to perform in clinical situations. A novel chelator lipid, nitrilotriacetic acid di-tetradecylamine (NTA-DTDA) that, via the NTA group has high affinity for 6His peptide, was used to directly anchor recombinant forms of T cell costimulatory molecules containing a C-terminal 6-His sequence onto tumor cell surfaces. Initial experiments using murine P815 tumor cells established the optimum conditions for incorporating NTA-DTDA onto the membranes of cells. P815 cells with incorporated NTA-DTDAbound hexahistidine-(6His)-tagged forms of the extracellular domains of murine B7.1 and CD40 (B7.1-6H and CD40-6H) at very high levels (fluorescence 200-300-fold above background), and both proteins could be anchored onto the cells simultaneously. Significant loss of the anchored or "engrafted" protein occurred through membrane internalization following culture of the cells under physiological conditions, but P815 cells with engrafted B7.1-6H and/or CD40-6H stimulated the proliferation of allogenic and syngeneic splenic T cells in vitro, and generated cytotoxic T cells when used as vaccines in syngeneic animals. Furthermore, the immunization of syngeneic mice with P815 cells engrafted with B7.1-6H or with B7. 1-6H and CD40-6H induced protection against challenge with the native P815 tumor. The results indicate that the use of chelator lipids like NTD-DTDA to engraft costimulatory and/or other molecules onto cell membranes could provide a convenient alternative to transfection in the development of cell-based vaccines and for modulation of immune function.

On-line coupling of equilibrium-sorptive enrichment to gas chromatography to determine low-molecular-mass pollutants in environmental water samples.

On-line combination of equilibrium sorptive enrichment and gas chromatography is used for the analysis of a group of pollutants varying widely in polarity and volatility in aqueous samples at trace levels. For the ESE process open-tubular traps were used. The newly developed hyphenated method shows a high sensitivity for all the compounds under study. The detection limits were typically between 0.1 and 1 microg/l. The sample volumes required for the compounds to reach equilibrium with the stationary phase are in the range of 20 ml for the aromatic hydrocarbons included in the study (benzene, toluene and p-xylene), to 200 ml for epichlorohydrin and dichlorohydrin. Within- and between-day precision of the absolute peak areas varied between 3 and 16%. The performance of the new method was tested by the analysis of different environmental water samples.
