Annexin 5 fluorescein isothiocyanate fitc cell apoptosis kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in China

The Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) cell apoptosis kit is a laboratory equipment used to detect and quantify the extent of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cell populations. The kit utilizes the binding of Annexin V, a protein that has a high affinity for phosphatidylserine, to the cell membrane as an indicator of apoptosis. The FITC fluorescent label allows for the detection and analysis of Annexin V-positive cells using flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy.

Effect of miR-9 on OVCAR-3 tumor cell apoptosis was quantified by flow cytometry using Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) cell apoptosis kit (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) according to manufacturer's protocol (18 (link)). Briefly, the OVCAR-3 cells were transfected with miR-9 or NC vectors for 36 h, followed by the replacement of cell culture medium with serum-free RPMI 1640 medium. Total cells were harvested and washed using PBS buffer (pH 7.4) three times, and resuspended in the staining buffer provided in the kit. Following this, 5 µl Annexin V-FITC and 5 µl propidium iodide (PI) were mixed with the cells. After being cultivated at room temperature for 10 min, mixtures were analyzed using the FACScan flow cytometry (BD Biosciences). Annexin V-positive and PI-negative cells were considered to be apoptotic cells.

Cell apoptosis was assayed by flow cytometry using an annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) cell apoptosis kit (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), according to the manufacturer's protocol. Briefly, after transfection for 48 h, cells were cultured with fresh serum-free DMEM/F12 medium at 37°C for 12 h. Subsequently, cells were harvested and washed three times (5 min/wash) with phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4), and then resuspended in staining buffer. Following this, cells were mixed with 5 µl annexin-V-FITC and 5 µl propidium iodide (PI). After 10 min, the mixtures were analyzed using a FACScan flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and in-built software. Annexin V-positive and PI-negative cells were regarded as apoptotic cells.

Quantifying SH-SY5Y Cell Apoptosis via Annexin V-FITC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) cell apoptosis kit (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) was applied to detect SH-SY5Y cell apoptosis. In short, after transfection with indicated plasmids for 48 h, SH-SY5Y cells (10,000) were harvested and fixed by 4% formaldehyde at room temperature for 30 min. SH-SY5Y cells were then permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X-100 in PBS (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) for 5 min at room temperature. Subsequently, cells were incubated with 5 µl Annexin V-FITC and 5 µl propidium iodide at room temperature for 10 min in the dark. Finally, the apoptosis rate of SH-SY5Y cells was analyzed by a BD FACSCalibur flow cytometry (BD Biosciences) using CellQuest software (version 3.0; BD Biosciences). Early apoptosis was assessed using the following formula: Cell apoptosis rate = number of cells in quadrant 3/number of cells in all quadrants.

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.
