In Vivo

VU6008055 (0.1-10 mg/kg; p.o.) dose-dependently blocks Amphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion in male Sprague-Dawley rats, with a minimum effective dose of 0.3 mg/kg and up to 63% reversal at 10 mg/kg[1].

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.
