Objective: In this study, we investigate the parameters that influence the binding between NP and proteins.Materials and methods: We used the proteins albumin, transferrin (TF), and apolipoprotein A-1 (all known as proteins from ELF) and different NP (polystyrene NP with negative, positive, and neutral surface coatings, Printex G and Printex 90) as models.Results: In all cases, a linear correlation of the added NP amount and the amount of bound proteins was found and was described quantitatively by binding indices. Bovine serum albumin (BSA), TF, and apo A-1 were bound to the largest extent to hydrophobic NP, which shows the extraordinary importance of the NP''s surface properties.Discussion: The binding index indicates the relevance of primary particle size and surface properties, including hydrophobicity.Conclusion: Size and surface modifications of NP determine their protein binding. Our results suggest that the formation of conjugates of BSA, TF, and Apo A-1 with NP may play an important role in their translocation across the air--blood--barrier and subsequent biokinetics.
