    Miglustat combined with anti-PD-1 promotes tumour inhibition. MC38-OVA cells (1 × 105 328 ) were subcutaneously injected into C57BL/6 mice treated with PBS, Miglustat alone (10 mg/kg), anti-PD-1 antibody alone (200 mg/kg per mouse) or Miglustat plus anti-PD-1 as indicated and tumour formation was observed. Tumour sizes were measured every 3 days. The average and individual tumour curves are shown.

    In Vitro

    Miglustat (200 μM; 2, 4 and 24 h) restores F508del-CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) function in cystic fibrosis (CF) bronchial epithelial IB3-1 and CuFi-1 cells. Miglustat reduces the inflammatory response to P. aeruginosa in both CF and non-CF bronchial cells[1].

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

    In Vivo

    Miglustat (0.2 mg/kg; oral administration; once) is able to rescue synaptic plasticity deficits, to restore ERKs activation and to counteract hyperexcitability[2].

    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.
