Description

PEG8000 can be used for phage precipitation, isolation of plasmid DNA, and promotion of flat end-junction reactions^[1].

In Vitro

The FDA has approved polyethylene glycol (PEG) for use as a vehicle or base in foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, including injectable, topical, rectal and nasal formulations. PEG shows little toxicity, and is eliminated from the body intact by either the kidneys (for PEGs < 30 kDa) or in the faeces (for PEGs > 20 kDa). PEG lacks immunogenicity, and antibodies to PEG are generated in rabbits only if PEG is combined with highly immunogenic proteins^[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Help & FAQs

Do most proteins show cross-species activity?
Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
