Question
Iron oxide nanoparticles coated with this compound are an effective carrier of antisense nucleic acids, and a nanocarrier system of this compound and spermine has been used to deliver doxorubicin. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this natural glucose polymer that is also the basis for multiple biocompatible micellar and hydrogel drug delivery systems. Microspheres of this compound are particularly good at targeting drugs to the colon.
ANSWER: dextran [reject “dextrin”]
[10m] In developmental biology, fluorescent dextrans are classical dyes for these experiments, in which they are injected into a clear embryo, such as one from Xenopus, and individual cell fates are tracked.
ANSWER: lineage tracing
[10e] Beads of dextran and this other compound are often used as media in size-exclusion chromatography. More commonly, 0.5-percent to 2-percent solutions of this substance are added to TAE buffer and microwaved before use.
ANSWER: agarose [prompt on agar or gel]
