Dead cell apoptosis kit with annexin 5 alexa fluor 488

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The Dead Cell Apoptosis Kit with Annexin V Alexa Fluor® 488 is a laboratory tool used to detect and quantify apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cell samples. The kit utilizes Annexin V, a protein that binds to phosphatidylserine, a molecule that is exposed on the cell surface during apoptosis. The Annexin V is conjugated with the Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorescent dye, allowing for the detection of apoptotic cells using flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy.

Phagocytic Capacity of Macrophages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the phagocytic capacity of macrophages, pHrodo Red S. aureus bioparticles conjugate (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was added to the culture media according to the manufacturer's recommendations with ~2 × 106 cells per 2 mg vial of pHrodo-labeled bioparticles. Cells were incubated with the pHrodo labeled bioparticles for 2 hrs and then collected for FACS analysis and data analysis by Flowjo. This phagocytosis assay is based on the fact that there is a minimal fluorescence signal when the pHrodo Red S. aureus bioparticle conjugate is adherent to the outer surface of the phagocyte. Once the S. aureus is internalized and incorporated into the acidic environment of the phagosome, the bioparticle conjugates emit a strong red fluorescence. Internalization was verified by live cell confocal imaging (Olympus FluoView FV1000, Center Valley, PA). To assess changes in viability due to ethanol, MH-S cells were stained with the Dead Cell Apoptosis Kit with Annexin V Alexa Fluor 488 and Propidium Iodide (PI) (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) before analysis by flow cytometry.

For determining cell viability, 50,000 MDA-MB-231 cell variants were plated into a 6-well plate. At 72 h, cells were trypsinized, harvested, stained with trypan blue, and counted using a hemocytometer. Cells were deemed viable upon trypan blue exclusion. The Cell Proliferation Kit I MTT Assay (Millipore Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) was also used to evaluate tumor cell viability over time. 2000 MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, or MVT1 variants were plated and measurements taken at 72 h using a Promega Glomax Discover microplate reader. For DMSO, BQU57, and Taxol treatments, the media contained drugs at the indicated concentration and measurements were taken after 72 h.
The BrdU Cell Proliferation Assay (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA) was used to evaluate tumor cell proliferation. 10,000 MDA-MB-231 or 5000 MVT1 cell variants were plated and the assay was performed following manufacturer’s instructions. At 72 h, absorbance was read at 450 nm using a Promega Glomax Discover microplate reader.
The Dead Cell Apoptosis Kit with Annexin V Alexa Fluor™ 488 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was used to evaluate apoptotic populations. MDA-MB-231 or MVT1 cell variants were plated and allowed to reach ~90% confluency. Floating and harvested cells were collected and treated according to manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were acquired using a LSR II.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells transduced with shRNAs against Adar1 or Luciferase control were collected at the indicated time points during OSKM reprogramming to analyze cell viability. On the one hand, cellular death was determined by trypan blue exclusion assay. Briefly, cells were stained with trypan blue solution (0.08%) (Amresco, K940) at specific times of reprogramming. Live cells versus dead cells (blue) were counted under the microscope and the percentage of each population was represented. On the other hand, cellular apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry using the Dead Cell Apoptosis kit with Annexin V Alexa Fluor 488 (Life Technologies, 10652071) following manufacturer′s instructions. As a positive control, some wells of each shRNA treatment were treated with 1 μM staurosporine (Sigma-Aldrich, S5921) to induce apoptosis, or DMSO as control. Flow cytometry was performed using an Accuri C6 instrument (BD Biosciences), and data were analyzed with FlowJo software.
