Isolation and Characterization of Ascophyllan

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ascophyllan was purified from A. nodosum as a sulfated fucan preparation [13 (link),47 (link)]. Briefly, in the first step, a hot water extraction was performed to obtain the total soluble polysaccharide fraction, which contained ascophyllan, fucoidan, and trace levels of alginate. In the second step, alginate was removed by alginate lyase digestion. The third step was the selective precipitation of ascophyllan in the presence of NaCl and alcohol. In this step, ascophyllan was separated from fucoidan. Finally, a composition analysis was performed to characterize the isolated polysaccharides [45 (link)]. Fucoidan from M. pyrifera was obtained from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Fluorescence-conjugated Abs against IgG1, IgG2a, CD3 (17A2), CD69 (H1.2F3), NK1.1 (PK136), Ki-67 (16A8), and IFN-γ (XMG1.2) were purchased from BioLegend (San Diego, CA, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
