Transcortin acts as a reservoir from which a constant supply of unbound cortisol may be provided to target cells. In addition, when serum albumin levels are low, less circulating cortisol becomes bound, which yields a greater physiological effect. Not only does protein binding control the amount of biologically active cortisol available, but it also reduces the rate at which steroids are cleared from the blood and thus limits steroid suppression of corticotrophin release from the pituitary gland. 

Figure 9.7 Evaluation of biopharmaceutical X binding to mouse bone marrow derived cells, (a) Biopharmaceutical X binding to mouse bone marrow-derived cells was evaluated using flow cytometry. Mouse cells were incubated with biopharmaceutical X or the human ligand. Secondary antibodies that cross-reacted with both biopharmaceutical X and the natural human ligand were used to detect binding. Cells were stained with the secondary antibodies only, to detect non-specific binding (control), (b) Bone marrow derived mouse cells were stained as described above with a murine version of biopharmaceutical X and the murine ligand for the receptor. Secondary antibodies that cross-reacted with the murine version of biopharmaceutical X and the murine ligand were used to detect binding. See color insert.

Polymer adsorption has also been adapted to QCM sensing whereby biofunctional thin films are adsorbed on the crystal surface with non-specific binding controlled by tuning of polymer composition. This approach proved successful as applied to carbohydrate-protein interaction by Matsuura et al. through adsorption of lactose bearing amphiphilic polymers on hydrophobic surfaces which then showed RCA12o and peanut lectin (PNA) affinity [33]. Carbohydrate surfaces prepared by photo insertion into an adsorbed polymer were tested by QCM and showed the predicted affinities [34] while in another example a covalently bound glycopolymer demonstrated Concanavalin A detection ability [35].

Remove 50pL aliquot (-0.05 OD600 cells) secondary labeling cell mixture for saturated binding control reaction. Proceed directly to step 11 and process sample separately from remainder of cells. No antigen control reaction should also proceed directly to step 11. 

Incubate reactions at room temperature for 30 min followed by shift to ice for 10 min to minimize dissociation during sample processing. Remove 0.05 OD600 ( 1 x 106 cells) aliquot for saturated binding control reaction and proceed directly to step 8 processing sample separately from remainder of cells. 

However, if both diastereomers are in equilibrium, besides a preferred binding control"2, the higher reactivity of one of the diastereomeric primary substrate complexes (containing the chiral auxiliary ligand) might be responsible for stereocontrol of the overall reaction. According to the Curtin-Hammett principle, the more active primary complex does not necessarily have to be identical with the thermodynamically favored substrate complex in the equilibrium3.

Piatnitski et al. carried out a detailed thermodynamic analysis of the binding properties of the water-solnble hemicarcerand 65. ° This host lacks one of the linkers of 64, which facilitates gnest exchange. Thus, 65 displays thermodynamic selectivity in its binding properties, which differs from many other hemicarcerands, for which constrictive binding controls selectivity.
