FITC–dextran conjugate (average MW = ~150K)
FITC-labeled dextran is used in cardiovascular, microcirculation, perfusion, cell monolayer and cell membrane permeability research as fluorescent flux tracer compound that supports the measurement of processes such as blood flow, membrane damage, vascular drainage and renal elimination. It is also used in microcirculation and cell permeability research utilizing microfluorimetry, and possible in perfusion studies in animals. FITC-dextran has also been used to study plant cell wall porosity and capillary permeability. Plasma proteins have been shown not to bind to FITC-dextran. Fluorescein-dextran of150 kDa may be used to help assess the integrity of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and to perform fluorescence microlymphography. It may also be used as a microcirculation vascular flux tracer.
