FITC-Dextran 4 is a fluorescently conjugated dextran used in biological research for its ability to act as a molecular probe. Its applications are primarily in studies involving macromolecular transport and permeability due to its high molecular weight, which restricts its passage through cellular barriers. The FITC label provides a fluorescent tag that allows for the real-time visualization of the compound using fluorescence microscopy or other fluorescence-based detection methods. In research, FITC-Dextran 4 is often utilized to investigate the permeability of blood vessels, assess the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, and study endocytosis and exocytosis processes in cells. It is also a common tool in perfusion studies to trace and measure the dynamics of fluid movement within tissues.
