Cell apoptotic rates were determined using the Annexin V Apoptosis Detection Kit PE or FITC according to the manufacturer's instructions (#88810272 and 88800572; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Briefly, cells were harvested, washed with PBS and resuspended in 1× Binding Buffer to 1 × 106 cells/mL. 5 μL Annexin‐V‐PE (or Annexin‐V‐FITC) and 5‐μL PI were added to 100 μL of the cell suspension and incubated for 15 minutes in the dark at room temperature. After incubation, 400 μL 1× Binding Buffer was added. Cells were analyzed using a flow cytometer. For Hoechst 33342 staining, cells (2 × 105/mL) were harvested and added to 10 μL Hoechst 33342 (Keygen Biotech, Nanjing, China) for 15 minutes in the dark at 37°C. After centrifuging for 5 minutes and washing with PBS, 1 mL of Buffer A solution (Keygen Biotech, Nanjing, China) was added at room temperature. Finally, 20 μL of cell pellet was dropped onto a glass slide, and the cells were observed using the fluorescence microscope.

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.
