Description

Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80), a surfactant, has been widely used as a solvent for pharmacological experiments. Tween 80 can also reduce bacterial attachment and inhibit biofilm formation.

In Vitro

Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80) is a surfactant which can also reduce bacterial attachment and inhibit biofilm formation[1]. Solubility enhancement as high as 100-fold is achieved using 1% Tween 80 in vitro[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80) (IP; 10 ml/kg) significantly decreases locomotor activity at a concentration of 32% in saline (v/v) in male outbred (BALB/c x DBA/Z)F1 mice weighing 24-30 g[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
