Annexin 5 fitc pi double stain assay
Annexin V FITC/PI double stain assay is a laboratory technique used to detect and quantify apoptosis, a process of programmed cell death. The assay utilizes Annexin V, a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein that has a high affinity for phosphatidylserine, which is exposed on the surface of apoptotic cells. The assay also incorporates propidium iodide (PI), a DNA-binding dye that can penetrate the compromised membranes of late apoptotic or necrotic cells. This combination of Annexin V and PI allows for the identification and differentiation of viable, early apoptotic, late apoptotic, and necrotic cells.

well at the time points of 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, and 96 h. The plate was examined at 450 nm absorption with a microplate reader after incubating for 2 hours at 37°C.
Cell cycles were examined using propidium iodide (PI) (BD Biosciences). Cells were washed with cold PBS and fixed in 75% ethanol −20°C overnight, and then incubated with PI for 15 minutes before flow cytometric analysis. For measuring the extent of apoptosis, CRC cells were analyzed through flow cytometry assay using an Annexin V FITC/PI double stain assay (BD Biosciences) following the manufacturer's protocol.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
