Dextran is used to make microcarriers for industrial cell culture; Orally-administered dextran sodium sulphate is used to induce colitis in animal models of inflammatory bowel disease. [12] Dextran is a common model compound to test the potential of drug formulations to facilitate intestinal absorption via the paracellular route. [13]
Dextran and oxidized dextran can be used to crosslink gelatin microspheres to reduce gelatin dissolution, which slows the drug release rate. These dextran/gelatin microspheres can be used to provide slow-release of TRAPP-Br, which is a cancer therapeutic. [ 8 ]
Dextran 70 is a type of fluid given by injection into a vein to expand blood volume. [1] Specifically it is used for shock such as that caused by bleeding or burns when blood transfusions are not quickly available. [2] However, it does not carry oxygen. [2] Common side effects include vomiting, fever, and joint pains. [2]
Dextran sulphate sodium (DSS), or dextran sodium sulphate (or any of the former with "sulfate") is a synthetic sulphated polysaccharide with anticoagulant activity used in immunological research to induce colitis. [1] [2] Dextran polymer molecules with a molecular weight of 36–50 kDa are frequently used to this end. [2]
Biotinylated dextran amines (BDA) are organic compounds used as anterograde and retrograde neuroanatomical tracers. They can be used for labeling the source as well as the point of termination of neural connections and therefore to study neural pathways .
Dextran-Haemoglobin was developed by Dextro-Sang Corp as a veterinary product, and was a conjugate of the polymer dextran with human haemoglobin. [citation needed] Hemotech was developed by HemoBiotech and was a chemically modified haemoglobin. Somatogen developed a genetically engineered and crosslinked tetramer it called Optro.
A 40-year-old mother was one of six people shot in a New York City convenience store when one of the suspected targets of a "brazen and heartless attack" used her as a human shield, authorities said.
