Comparison of stabilization effect of glucosylglycerol vs. ectoine on antibodies during freeze/thaw cycles. Antibodies (Rabbit Ig, 5ng) were added to 1ml of the glucosylglycerol or ectoine solutions or to PBS buffer and subjected to three freeze/thaw cycles at -80˚C/+65˚C. Remaining antibody activity was determined by ELISA. Glucosylglycerol outperforms ectoine in this application. 60% of the antibody binding activity remains after three freeze thaw cycles in the presence of 50mM glucosylglycerol.

Description
- Glucosylglycerol belongs to the class of compatible solutes (osmolytes). It is a non-toxic, non-irritating protective osmolyte responsible for the osmotic adaptation of blue-green algae, rhizobacteria and Pseudomonas and also found in the drought-resistant 'resurrection plant' Myrothamnus flabellifolia. Glucosylglycerol protects its host against osmotic stress, heat, desiccation and UV.
- Glucosylglycerol is an animal free and protein-free low molecular weight stabilizer which is an excellent cryoprotector for proteins in vitro, especially antibodies.
- In vitro models and skin models demonstrate strong activity of glucosylglycerol on aged and stressed skin cells with rejuvenating, recovering and radical scavenging properties. In vivo treatments confirm positive effects on increased skin elasticity, smoothness and thickness, the epidermis and dermis density regenerate with no irritating effects. It is used as a multifunctional anti-aging, cell-stimulating and skin moisturizing agent in cosmetics.
- This glucosylglycerol preparation is a 100% natural sugar derivative produced by an enzymatic reaction process. It is enantiopure and contains only the natural and functionally active isomer (2-alpha-GG), which is present in the desert resurrection plant Myrothamnus flabellifolia.
