FITC-Dextran (MW 4000)_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	FITC-Dextran (MW 4000) is a fluorescent probe for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) dextran (Ex=495 nm; Em=525 nm). FITC-Dextran (MW 4000) can be used as a marker to reveal heat shock-induced cell damage and to study the early and late stages of apoptosis. FITC-Dextran (MW 4000) can also be used for cell permeability studies, such as blood-brain barrier permeability and determination of the extent of blood-brain barrier disruption[1][2][3]. Storage: protect from light.
Invitro	Guidelines (Following is our recommended protocol. This protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs).细胞标记 (如正在发生凋亡的 HeLa 细胞和 PBMC 细胞)[1]:活的 HeLa 细胞和人 PBMC 不被 FITC-Dextran 染色。1. 43.5°C 孵育 1 h，37°C 孵育 8 h，诱导细胞凋亡。2. 将细胞悬浮在 100 μL 的培养基中，在 Q-prep 管与 10 μL 的 propidium iodide (PI)，10 μL 的 FITC-Dextran (MW 4000) 混合，PI 和 FITC-Dextran (MW 4000) 的最终浓度分别为 7.5 μM 和 1.13 μM。3. 将细胞在室温黑暗条件下培养 25 分钟。4. 取 3mL 培养基的标记细胞，500g 离心 10 分钟。5. 取离心细胞，加入 1 mL 培养基，用流式细胞术或荧光显微镜分析 (PI: Ex=500 nm, Em=600 nm; FITC-Dextran (MW 4000): Ex=495 nm, Em=525 nm)。用于细胞旁渗透性检测[4]1. 在 transwell 室的基础培养基中加入 FITC-Dextran (0.1 mg/mL)。2. 在 15 分钟后从 transwell 插入器中收集培养基。3. 测量荧光信号 (excitation=485 nm, emission=538 nm)。4. 根据荧光强度计算 FITC-Dextran 浓度。5. 计算渗透率。
