General description

Dextran sulfate is a sulfated polysaccharide, which is negatively charged. It is produced by the esterification of dextran with chlorosulphonic acid. Dextran is used to treat hemorrhage, burns, surgery and trauma. It improves blood flow and prevents erythrocyte aggregation. Dextran lowers the risk of thrombosis and postoperative pulmonary emboli. It is a ribonuclease inhibitor. Dextran sulfate exhibits antiviral, anticoagulant and adjuvant properties.

Application

Dextran sulfate sodium salt Leuconostoc spp has been used:
  • as a standard to perform polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis for carbohydrates (C-PAGE)(59) and agarose gel electrophoresis(60)
  • for RNA sequential probing of targets (SPOTs) imaging(61)
  • as a component of 1% injection buffer(62)
