Application

Dextran labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate for possible use in perfusion studies in animals.
Fluorescein isothiocyanate–dextran (FITC-Dextran 150) is use as a fluorescent probe to study cell permeability. FITC-Dextran 150 is useful to study processes that affect the permeability of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and microvascular structures. FITC-Dextran 150 is used in fluorescence microlymphography.

Other Notes

Commonly utilized as a macromolecular fluorochrome in inflammatory studies

Fluorescein-labeled dextran MW 150K (FITC-Dx 150) is commonly utilized as a macromolecular fluorochrome in inflammatory studies. We examined the influence of FITC-Dx 150 on leukocyte activity as assessed by adherence to cheek pouch microvessels. Transcapillary exchange was evaluated as fluorochrome

Ischemia-reperfusion injury is induced by recovery of blood flow after ischemia. This phenomenon is a main cause of ischemic brain injury. The integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) fails after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. Further elucidation of this phenomenon promotes
