DEAE-dextran, MW 500000 hydrochloride (DEAE-dextran, MW 500000 hydrochloride, from bacterial (Leuconostoc mesenteroides)) is a high-molecular-weight positively charged polymer that significantly enhances the uptake of viral RNA by tissue culture cells. When employed in the delivery system for tumor immunity RNA-splenocyte transfer, DEAE-dextran can markedly extend the lifespan of tumor-bearing animals, comparable to that of actively immunized animals. Furthermore, DEAE-dextran serves as a complexing agent for nucleic acids, forming composite particles with DNA/RNA for extensive applications in gene delivery. Additionally, DEAE-dextran can be utilized as a coating for liposomes[1][2].
