General description

Gelatin is a heterogeneous mixture of water-soluble proteins of high average molecular masses, present in collagen. The proteins are extracted by boiling skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, etc. in water. Type-A gelatin is derived from acid-cured (acid-hydrolyzed) tissue. Type-B gelatin is derived from lime-cured (base/alkaline-hydrolyzed) tissue. Gelatin is a biocompatible polymer.

Application

Prionex® Highly purified Type A has been used:
  • for coating cell culture to improve attachment of cells, and was added to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to help stabilize Taq DNA
  • as a blocking reagent in Western blotting, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and immunohistochemistry
  • as a component of media for species differentiation in bacteriology
  • as a delivery vehicle for the release of bioactive molecules and in the generation of scaffolds for engineering applications
  • in the murine lethality assay which is used to examine the ability of SMAbs to neutralize the effects of BoNT/A1 in vivo

We tested instantized dry milk, casein, gelatins from pig and fish skin, serum albumin and several other proteins for their abilities to block non-specific binding (NSB) of a peroxidase-conjugated immunoglobulin to polystyrene microtiter plate wells. Each blocking protein was tested

The study showed that washing a gloved hand removed significant amounts of bacteria. If the proper soap or scrub is used, the gloved hand will be free of bacteria. It is suggested that all dental personnel wear gloves to protect
