to generate complex with stimulatory RNA isRNA9.2 as in neutrophils
used in ribosomal RNA transfection into human monocytic THP-1 cells
for coating alginate capsule beads
Uses
Poly-L-arginine hydrochloride has been used:
as polyelectrolyte solution in the synthesis of biodegradable capsules
as layer constituent, in the preparation of layer by layer (LbL) assembly of multilayer biodegradable shells
in assay for the determination of binding activity of C-reactive protein for polycationic ligands
General Description
Poly-L-arginine hydrochloride (PLA) is a homopolyamino acid. PLA enhances membrane permeability compared to poly-L-lysine. It has applications as drug carrier, neuroprotective agent and in anticancer vaccines preparations. Peptide vaccines in conjugation with PLA promotes antigen-presenting cells (APCs) to generate T cell and elicit immunostimulant functionality.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Poly-L-arginine (PLA) possesses anti-bacterial activity. It has a greater capacity to enhance membrane permeability. PLA at lower concentration enhances cell proliferation and at higher concentration acts as antiproliferative agent.
