The natural rubber latex that has been decomposed by the protein of the invention described above method manufacturing, it is characterized in that, be substantially devoid of when adopting SDS-PAGE (SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) to analyze by 14,31 and the determined protein of each band of 45kDa, this point is different with the natural rubber latex of known nitrogen content minimizing in the past.
Wherein, particular proteins is not contained in the natural rubber latex Ruzhong, this means the following meaning.Promptly, use this natural rubber latex of the SDS aqueous solution (sodium lauryl sulphate) extracting, use film dialysis extract by molecular weight 3.5kDa, adding contains the acetone of 10% Tricholroacetic Acid and makes protein precipitation in dialyzate, collect this precipitation and, be dissolved in the aqueous solution of urea with centrifugation, form and be equivalent to concentrate 6 times extract with behind the washing with acetone, use SDS-PAGE (polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) to measure, do not detect protein.
Promptly, handle the natural rubber latex Ruzhong that the nitrogen content made reduces at the use tensio-active agent that is used as method in the past and protein decomposition enzyme, in the analysis of SDS-PAGE method, even making nitrogen component is below 0.02%, also these bands can occur, show and do not remove particular proteins fully.When adopting the nitrogen component content of same level to compare particularly, when finding that natural rubber latex of the present invention adopts the SDS-PAGE method to analyze, 14,31 and each band of 45kDa all basically or completely dissolve, though and the natural rubber latex that obtains by above-mentioned previous methods is few but still have above-mentioned band.In addition, when the natural rubber latex that the protein decomposition enzyme that adopts above-mentioned previous methods is handled carries out centrifugation, its slurries the distinctive proteinic band of natural rubber latex occurs in mutually significantly, prove the residual undecomposed protein that has, and the slurries the when natural rubber latex that adopts the inventive method to handle carried out centrifugation such band do not occur in mutually, and therefore confirming does not easily have residual protein in the coagulum of the natural rubber latex after the reaction treatment.
In addition, research according to present inventors, even slightly how to contain nitrogen component, but so long as when adopting the SDS-PAGE method to analyze, all do not have 14,31 and the natural rubber latex of each band of 45kDa basically, even the conduit that can provide the patient to type i allergic reaction also can use safely without a doubt, rubber gloves, condom etc. then are provided.
Provide different with natural rubber latex in the past as above-mentioned natural rubber latex of the present invention, distinguish that it is according to being: use protein decomposition enzyme to realize that the natural rubber latex of deproteinization is by using protein decomposition enzyme optionally to cut off rubber and proteinic a part of key reduces nitrogen content, and the deproteinization that the present invention adopts the saponification of having used alkali metal hydroxide to carry out be by non-selectively and stoichiometry ground cut off rubber and proteinic key, protein itself also is hydrolyzed and lower molecular weightization simultaneously.Therefore, natural rubber latex of the present invention is characterized in that to its residual nitrogen containing ratio without limits, the protein of each band of 14,31 and 45kDa when being substantially devoid of the analysis of the distinctive employing of natural rubber latex SDS-PAGE method.
Distinguish in addition, when using this latex to make rubber gloves, can make the colory gloves of very smooth and good hand touch.This gloves quality and the rubber gloves of being made by fresh natural rubber latex are without any difference.Yet, use the rubber gloves of making of the natural rubber latex behind the protein decomposition enzyme deproteinization to produce the tiger fur striped as shown in Figure 5, this is not preferred on quality, is that the emulsification of saponification natural rubber latex is different in this yet.
Below enumerate embodiment and illustrate in greater detail the present invention, but the present invention is not subjected to any restriction of these embodiment.
