Evans Blue tetrasodium salt is a highly potent inhibitor of the vesicular glutamate uptake (IC50=87nM)[1]. Evans Blue is widely used in biomedicine including the estimation of blood volume, the assessment of vascular permeability to macromolecules, the detection of lymph nodes, and the location of the tumor lesions[2].
Evans Blue (0-100μM, 1h) potently reduced Epsilon-toxin (ETX)-induced hemolysis (EC50: ~1.2μM)[3].
Evans Blue (2%, 4ml/kg; i.v.; 50min) combined with FITC-Dextran (2000kDa) can be used to quantify blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage in specific regions of mice with lipopolysaccharide-induced BBB disruption and in apoE-/- mice[4].

Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Erythrocytes isolated from healthy volunteers |
Preparation Method | Human blood was collected by venopuncture from healthy volunteers using evacuated blood collection tubes containing EDTA-2K. The blood of mice, rats, sheep, bovine, rabbits, monkeys, horses, dogs and goats were collected, then the erythrocytes were washed three times in 0.01M PBS (1,000g, 4°C, 5min). The “buffy coat” was removed and isolated erythrocytes were packed by centrifugation at 1,000g for 10min at 4°C. Washed erythrocytes were resuspended in 0.01M PBS to produce a 5% erythrocyte solution. The hemolytic activity was measured spectrophotometrically at 540nm. In the hemolytic assay, purified recombinant ETX (rETX) (0 ~ 33μM) and increasing concentrations of Evans Blue was added to the 5% red blood cell solution (final concentration of 3.3%) and incubated up to 1h at 37°C with constant swirling (300rpm). Then the 1.5ml tubes were centrifuged at 1,000g for 10min at 4°C, and the optical density at 540nm of the supernatants was determined as a measure of the released hemoglobin. |
Reaction Conditions | 0-100μM, 1h |
Applications | Evans Blue potently reduced Epsilon-toxin (ETX)-induced hemolysis (EC50: ~1.2μM). |
Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Blood-brain barrier mouse model |
Preparation Method | Eight C57BL/6J mice were intraperitoneally injected with 1mg/ml LPS (4ml/kg, diluted in normal saline) to induce BBB disruption. Another eight C57BL/6J mice were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline (4ml/kg) as control (LPS-control). Six hours after the injection, mice were anesthetized with 1.5% pentobarbital sodium (3ml/kg, i.p.), then cannulated with a 26 Ga catheter through the tail vein. 2% Evans Blue (4ml/kg, diluted in normal saline) was injected through the catheter. 50min after EB circulation, 6mg/ml FITC-Dextran (4ml/kg, diluted in Normal Saline) was injected through the catheter and circulated for 10min. |
Dosage form | 2%, 4ml/kg; i.v.; 50min |
Applications | Evans Blue combined with FITC-Dextran (2000kDa) can be used to quantify blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage in specific regions of mice with lipopolysaccharide-induced BBB disruption and in apoE-/- mice. |

General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |
