Annexin 5 pe and 7 aad labeling solution

Manufactured by Merck Group

Annexin V-PE and 7-AAD labeling solution is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and analysis of apoptosis, a type of programmed cell death. Annexin V is a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein that has a high affinity for phosphatidylserine, which becomes exposed on the cell surface during apoptosis. 7-AAD is a fluorescent dye that binds to DNA, allowing the identification of cells with compromised cell membranes, such as late apoptotic or necrotic cells. This solution provides a method for the simultaneous detection and quantification of apoptotic and necrotic cells using flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy.

The apoptotic studies were carried out using Guava Nexin Reagent (Millipore). Cells with different types such as normal cells, early apoptotic cells and late apoptotic cells can be distinguished by this apoptosis study using flow cytometer60 (link). The Guava Nexin assay uses two stains (annexin V and 7-amino actinomycin D (7-AAD)) to quantitate the percentage of apoptotic cells. It was conducted according to the manufacturer’s protocol. In brief, after treatment with the alloys extracts for 24h, U2OS cells were collected and resuspended in 100ml medium supplemented with 100 μl 1% FBS. The cells were then incubated with 100 μl Annexin V-PE and 7-AAD labeling solution (Millipore) for 20 min at room temperature in the dark. Cells positive for AnV only (early apoptotic) or AnV and 7-AAD-positive cells (late apoptotic) were quantified by Guava EasyCyte 5HT flow cytometer. The data were analyzed by Guava Nexin Software v2.2.2.

Cell cycle conditions were determined using propidium iodide (PI, sigma) staining by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis. The cultured cells were harvested and washed in cold phosphate buffered saline (PBS), then fixed in 70% cold alcohol at 4°C overnight and washed with ice-cold PBS again. After stained with PI solution (40 mg/ml) at 37°C for 30 min in the dark, cells were analyzed on a Guava EasyCyte 5HT flow cytometer. The data were analyzed by Guava Incyte Software v2.2.2.
The apoptosis of U-2OS cells was measured by Guava Nexin Reagent (Millipore) according to the manufacture's protocol. The cultured cells were collected and resuspended in 100 μl medium supplemented with 1% FBS. The cells were then incubated with 100 μl Annexin V-PE and 7-AAD labeling solution (Millipore) for 20 min at room temperature in the dark. The resultant stained cells were analyzed on Guava EasyCyte 5HT flow cytometer. The data were analyzed by Guava Nexin Software v2.2.2.

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.
