Description of STh

STh is a small, heat-stable enterotoxin produced by enterotoxin-induced Escherichia coli (ETEC). STh is a 19-amino acid polypeptide containing three disulfide bridges[1, 2]. STh stimulates an increase in intracellular cGMP levels by binding to intestinal guanylate cyclase C on the surface of small intestinal epithelial cells, leading to increased intestinal fluid secretion and electrolyte imbalance, thereby causing secretory diarrhea[3]. STh is often used in vaccine development, but its low immunogenicity and small size present challenges, requiring the use of proteins or chemical binding to generate an immune response[4].

Calculate

In vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution) of STh

Step 1: Enter information below (Recommended: An additional animal making an allowance for loss during the experiment)

mg/kg g μL

Step 2: Enter the in vivo formulation (This is only the calculator, not formulation. Please contact us first if there is no in vivo formulation at the solubility Section.)

% DMSO % % Tween 80 % saline
%DMSO %

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL saline, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
