    In Vivo

    Alendronate (1.5E−10-1.5E−7 M, intra-air cell injection, single dose at embryonic day 7, exposure for 4 days) acid induces skeletal alterations in the chicken embryonic development model[3].

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

    Animal Model: Viable fertilized chick eggs (7 days)[3]
    Dosage: 1.5E-7 M, 1.5E-8 M, 1.5E-9 M, and 1.5E-10 M
    Administration: intra-air cell injection, single dose at embryonic day 7, exposure for 4 days
    Result: Showed an 87.5% viability rate and a 75% viability rate at 1.5E-10 M and other doses, respectively.
    Significantly reduced bone morphometric indexes (bone volume (BV) and bone surface (BS)) and cortical thickness in a dose-dependent manner.
    Significantly reduced dimensions and diminished mineralization in a concentration-dependent manner.
    Significantly increased TNFRSF11B, NF-κB1 and IL-6 levels, and decreased TNFRSF11A, CTSK, COL1A2, SPP1, and SOST levels, compared to control.

    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.
