Annexin 5 fluorescein isothiocyanate and propidium iodide staining
Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate and propidium iodide (PI) staining is a laboratory technique used to detect and quantify apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cell populations. Annexin V is a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein that has a high affinity for phosphatidylserine, which is exposed on the outer membrane of apoptotic cells. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) is a fluorescent dye that is conjugated to Annexin V, allowing for the detection of apoptotic cells by flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy. Propidium iodide (PI) is a DNA-binding dye that is used to detect necrotic or late-stage apoptotic cells, as it can only enter cells with compromised membranes.

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.
