Potassiumalum, for cell culture
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Potassiumalum, for cell culture (Aluminum potassium sulfate dodecahydrate, for cell culture) is an egg white adjuvant. Potassiumalum, for cell culture acts as a mordant to help dyes bind to tissue components, enhancing the staining effect and stability during staining. Potassiumalum, for cell culture can induce allergic reactions in mice. Potassium alum, for cell culture can be used in research for bacterial and tissue staining.

Biological Activity
Potassiumalum (4 h) irreversibly inhibits α-amylase (70% reduction), protease (51% reduction), and lipase (31% reduction) activities in midgut extracts of adult Periplaneta americana, with greater inhibitory effects observed in females than males[1].
Potassiumalum can be used as an adjuvant of ovalbumin to induce anaphylaxis in mice.[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Formalized Vibrio anguillarum bacterin adjuvanted with 2.5% Potassiumalum (100-200 μL; i.p.) causes minimal mortality, a significant reduction in growth, mild to moderate organ damage in rainbow trout[3].

Animal Model:Salmo gairdneri Richardson (approximately 3 cm length, mean weight 1.5 g)[3]
-
Dosage:50; 100 μl (adjuvanted with 2.5% Potassiumalum)
-
Administration:i.p.
-
Result:Reached 67% cumulative mortality at 48 days post-vaccination for the 50 μl adjuvanted dose.
Reached 74% cumulative mortality at 48 days post-vaccination for the 100 μl adjuvanted dose.
Achieved 231% weight increase over six weeks for the 50 μl adjuvanted dose.
Caused severe reactive peritonitis, inflammatory oedema of visceral peritoneum, macrophage infiltration and adjuvant deposition in serosa of ovary, liver, and pancreas, progressive focal degeneration of pancreatic acini, granulomata formation, fibroblast proliferation with collagen deposition, splenic and renal haemopoietic tissue depletion, occasional subcapsular hepatic necrosis, and heavy sequestration of alum into hepatocytes.
Showed no significant additional protection against Vibrio anguillarum challenge compared to non-adjuvanted vaccine.

-
Dosage:100; 200 μl (adjuvanted with 2.5% Potassiumalum)
-
Administration:i.p.
-
Result:Reached 5% cumulative mortality at 48 days post-vaccination for the 100 μl adjuvanted dose.
Reached 6% cumulative mortality at 48 days post-vaccination for the 200 μl adjuvanted dose.
Achieved 53% weight increase over six weeks for the 100 μl adjuvanted dose.
Achieved 26% weight increase over six weeks for the 200 μl adjuvanted dose.
Caused peritoneal oedema, macrophage infiltration, distortion of pancreatic acini, focal hepatic necrosis, severe focal necrosis of renal haemopoietic tissue, sequestration of alum into hepatocytes, pancreatic tissue fibrosis, organizing focal necrosis of liver and kidney, increased macrophage activity in peritoneal tissues, reduction in splenic white pulp, and gonad damage with fibrosed tissue contraction by one month post-injection.
Showed no significant additional protection against Vibrio anguillarum challenge compared to non-adjuvanted vaccine.
