Fitc labeled annexin 5 and pi staining

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States

FITC-labeled annexin V and PI staining is a laboratory tool used for the detection and analysis of apoptotic cells. It utilizes the binding properties of annexin V, a protein that binds to phosphatidylserine exposed on the surface of apoptotic cells, and propidium iodide (PI), a dye that stains the nucleic acids of cells with compromised cell membranes. This combination of stains allows for the identification and quantification of different cell populations, including viable, early apoptotic, and late apoptotic/necrotic cells.

Apoptosis and Dead Cell Quantification

Apoptotic and dead cell counts were performed using FITC-labeled Annexin V and PI staining (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) by flow cytometry. The cells were collected and resuspended in binding buffer at a concentration of 3×106/mL; then, 100 µL of cell suspension was added to 5 µL of Annexin V–FITC and 10 µL of PI and mixed for 15 minutes in dark at room temperature. Next, 400 µL of phosphate-buffered saline was added to the solution. A FACScan instrument (BD Biosciences) was used to count the cells (1×103) at an excitation wavelength of 490 nm. The CellQuest software (BD Biosciences) was used for data collection and processing.

Apoptosis and Cell Viability Analysis

For clonogenic survival assays, cells plated into petri dishes (60 mm × 15 mm) (2,500 cells per 10-cm plate) and grown for 7–10 days, fixed, and stained by crystal violet. The number of colonies (>50 cells) was counted. For the MTT assay, cells were plated into 96-well plates. Cell growth was monitored 96 h after transfection by the MTT [(4, 5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium] (Sigma) assay. Apoptotic and dead cell counts were performed using FITC-labeled annexin V and PI staining (BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA, USA), followed by flow cytometry (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA, USA). Briefly, the cells were gently vortexed and resuspended in binding buffer at a concentration of 3 × 106/ml, and then 100 μl of cell suspension was added to 5 μl of annexin V-FITC and 10 μl of PI and mixed for 15 min in the dark at room temperature. Next, 400 μl of PBS was added to the solution. A FACScan instrument (BD Biosciences) was used to count the cells (1 × 103) at an excitation wavelength of 490 nm. BD FACSDiva 4.0 Software was used for data collection and processing.

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.
