FITC-Dextran (MW 150000)  (Synonyms: 荧光素异硫氰酸酯-葡聚糖(MW 150000))

FITC-Dextran (MW 150000) is a fluorescent probe for fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) dextran (Ex=491 nm; Em=518 nm). FITC-Dextran (MW 150000) 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 150000) can be used in perfusion studies in animals or in fluorescence microlymphography, to study processes that affect the permeability of the blood brain barrier (BBB)^[6]. FITC-Dextran (MW 150000) can be used as fluorescent probe to study cell permeability^[7].

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 150000) 混合，PI 和 FITC-Dextran (MW 150000) 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 3 mL 培养基的标记细胞，500 g 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 150000): Ex=495 nm, Em=525 nm)。


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 (Ex=485 nm, Em=538 nm)。
4. 根据荧光强度计算 FITC-Dextran 浓度。
5. 计算渗透率。
