Description

λ-Carrageenan is a seaweed polysaccharide which has been generally used as proinflammatory agent in the basic research. λ-Carrageenan is a potent antitumor agent[1].

In Vivo

λ-Carrageenan (50 mg/kg every two days; intratumoral injection) inhibits tumor growth in B16-F10 and 4T1 bearing mice[1].
λ-carrageenan exhibits considerable antitumor effect via intratumoral injection and significantly improves the tumor immune response with increased infiltrates of immunostimulating cells and increases production of proinflammatory cytokines[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.
