Description

General description

Listen to an Audio Overview

Application

Dexamethasone is used to study apoptosis, cell signaling pathways, cell differentiation and gene expression.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glucocorticoid anti-inflammatory agent

Glucocorticoid anti-inflammatory agent. Regulates T cell survival, growth, and differentiation. Inhibits the induction of nitric oxide synthase.

It is poorly metabolized in the body and has great affinity and bioavailability.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Physical form

powder 2-8 °C; stock-frozen in working aliquots, avoid repeated freeze/thaw

Preparation Note

To prepare 20 μg/ml stock solution, add 1ml absolute ethanol per mg product; gently swirl to dissolve. Add 49 ml sterile medium per ml of ethanol added, while mixing, to acheive final concentration of 20 μg/ml.
