Description

Dextran T20 (Dextran 20; Dextran D20) (MW 20,000) is a dehydrated glucose polymer with an average molecular weight of 20,000. Dextran T20 (MW 20,000) has excellent biodegradability and good biocompatibility, and can be used as a gene delivery vector, an immune adjuvant carrier, and a hemoglobin stabilizer[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Dextran T20 (MW 20,000) is covalently bound to bovine hemoglobin, forming a stable dextransome-hemoglobin complex (dex20-bHb). dex20-bHb significantly reduces the self-oxidation rate of hemoglobin by enhancing the tetramer stability and oxygen affinity of hemoglobin1.
Dextran T20 (MW 20,000) can be used to construct cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG)-right glycolic acid conjugates. These conjugates can significantly enhance the uptake by antigen-presenting cells and trigger a strong immune response, but their relatively small size may not be sufficient to provide strong resistance to nucleases[2].
Dextran T20 (MW 20,000) is covalently bound to a cationic peptide R5H5 to form a right-handed dextran-peptide hybrid (Dex-R5H5), which is used for the safe and effective delivery of genes (plasmid DNA)[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.
