λ carrageenan

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, Germany, United Kingdom, France

λ-carrageenan is a type of polysaccharide that is extracted from certain species of red seaweed. It is commonly used as a gelling, thickening, and stabilizing agent in various laboratory and industrial applications. The core function of λ-carrageenan is to modify the rheological properties of aqueous solutions, enabling the creation of desired textures and consistencies.

Effects of λ-Carrageenan on Plant Growth

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The λ-carrageenan (22049, Sigma Aldrich, Germany) was prepared as stock solution at 10 mg/mL. Plantlets were treated with λ-carrageenan at 250 ppm, 750 ppm, and 1500 ppm respectively. Control plantlets were treated with distilled water. Treatment was applied twice via soil drench with an interval of one week, which are at the 1st day of treatment and the 8th day of treatment. Growth parameters such as plant height, root length, pseudostem diameter, and fresh weight were measured a day before treatment and a week after treatment. Leaf samples were collected from three biological replicates for each treatment and kept at − 80 °C. The experiment was repeated three times under identical experimental conditions.

To immunohistochemically detect mCherry, slides were washed 3× for 5 min in PBS, incubated in 0.3% Triton X-100, 5% donkey serum, and 0.02% sodium azide in PBS for 1 h at RT followed by incubation with anti-ds-red (1:1000, recognizes mCherry) in PBS containing 0.5% λ-carrageenan (Sigma) and 0.02% sodium azide overnight at 4 °C. The next day slides were washed 3× for 5 min with PBS containing 0.5% Tween 20 (PBS+Tween), incubated with Cy3-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit in PBS containing 0.5% λ-carrageenan (Sigma) and 0.02% sodium azide and washed 3× for 5 min in PBS+Tween. Nuclei were stained with bisbenzimide solution (1:2000 in 0.1 M PBS, 5 min at RT) and coverslipped with Fluoromount-G (Southern Biotech). Images were taken using either a Zeiss Axioskop or a Zeiss Axio Scan Z1 epifluorescence microscope.

As a comparator for gene expression study, a model of acute inflammation was also studied. Under brief anaesthesia (isoflurane 2.5–3% in O2 at 1 l/min flow), rats received either an intraplantar injection of 2% λ-carrageenan 100 μl (Sigma, UK) (n = 6) or vehicle (0.9% saline; n = 7) into the glabrous surface of the left hindpaw [25 (link)].

Carrageenan-Induced Paw Edema Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This test was adapted from Winter et al. (9 (link)). The mice were randomly divided into six groups (n=5): Negative Control (PBS 10.0 mL/kg), Positive Control (PBS 10.0 mL/kg), 2.0 mg/kg dexamethasone (Dex), and COPHCT at 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 mg/kg. The volume of the right hind paw of the mice was first measured (baseline) using a digital micrometer (Digimess, 100.174BL, Brazil). Then, the animals received a subplantar (sp) injection of 50 μL of 1.0% λ-carrageenan (Sigma® Aldrich, USA) or PBS (Negative Control group), and they were treated intragastrically (ig), as aforementioned. The percentage of the edema was determined by calculating the difference between the baseline measurement and the right hind paw volume evaluated 0 (soon after treatment administration), 1, 2, 3, and 4 h after treatments (t0, t1, t2, t3, and t4).

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.
