Abstract: | We measured the electrophoretic mobilities of HL-60RG cells and their apoptotic cells triggered by Actinomycin D as a function of the ionic strength of the suspending medium at pH 7.4. Both types of cells showed negative mobilities. The apoptotic HL-60RG cells exhibited larger mobility values in magnitude than intact HL-60RG cells in the whole range of the electrolyte concentration measured. The obtained data were analyzed via a mobility expression for soft particles, that is, colloidal particles with ionpenetrable surface layers. The observed mobility difference between the intact and apoptotic HL-60RG cells was found to be due mainly to the difference in friction exerted by the cell surface layers on the liquid flow around the cells between these two types of cells rather than the difference in charge density in their surface layers. A possible explanation for this mobility change by apoptosis is given. |
