Dextran labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate for possible use in perfusion studies in animals.
Fluorescein isothiocyanate–dextran (FITC-Dextran 150) is use as a fluorescent probe to study cell permeability. FITC-Dextran 150 is useful to study processes that affect the permeability of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and microvascular structures. FITC-Dextran 150 is used in fluorescence microlymphography.

Commonly utilized as a macromolecular fluorochrome in inflammatory studies[1]
Fluorescein-labeled dextran MW 150K (FITC-Dx 150) is commonly utilized as a macromolecular fluorochrome in inflammatory studies. We examined the influence of FITC-Dx 150 on leukocyte activity as assessed by adherence to cheek pouch microvessels. Transcapillary exchange was evaluated as fluorochrome

1. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of micronization on the protective effect of the purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF) on increases in macromolecular permeability induced by ischaemia-reperfusion in the hamster cheek pouch microcirculation. 2. Male hamsters (Mesocricetus

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induces mild vasodilation and strong increases in microvascular permeability. Using intravital microscopy and digital integrated optical intensity image analysis, we tested, in the hamster cheek pouch microcirculation, the hypothesis that differential signaling pathways in arterioles

Three-dimensional renal tissues that emulate the cellular composition, geometry, and function of native kidney tissue would enable fundamental studies of filtration and reabsorption. Here, we have created 3D vascularized proximal tubule models composed of adjacent conduits that are lined with
Ischemia-reperfusion injury is induced by recovery of blood flow after ischemia. This phenomenon is a main cause of ischemic brain injury. The integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) fails after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. Further elucidation of this phenomenon promotes
