DEAE-dextran (Diethylaminoethyl-dextran)（Cat No.:I041466）is a cationic polysaccharide widely used in molecular biology for transfection applications. With a molecular weight of 500,000, it facilitates the efficient delivery of nucleic acids, such as DNA or RNA, into cells. The DEAE group in its structure binds negatively charged nucleic acids, promoting cellular uptake via endocytosis. This makes DEAE-dextran a valuable tool in gene expression studies, vaccine development, and other genetic manipulation techniques. Its use in research spans areas like cancer, immunology, and virology due to its ability to enhance gene transfer efficiency.
