Annexin 5 fitc propidium iodide apoptosis detection kit

Manufactured by Roche
Sourced in Germany

The Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) Apoptosis Detection Kit is a laboratory tool used to detect and quantify apoptosis, a programmed cell death process. The kit utilizes Annexin V, a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein, conjugated with the fluorescent dye FITC, and propidium iodide, a DNA-binding dye. This combination allows for the identification of cells undergoing early and late stages of apoptosis.

Morphological characteristics of apoptotic cells were observed by Hoechst 33258 staining. CRC cells infected with VG9-IL-24, VG9-EGFP, or PBS for 24 h were incubated with Hoechst 33258 (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) for 30 min. The apoptotic morphological changes of cells were observed under an Olympus IX51 fluorescence microscope (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) immediately.
Apoptosis was further quantified by flow cytometric analysis using the Annexin-V–FITC/Propidium Iodide (PI) Apoptosis Detection kit (Roche Applied Science, Penzburg, Germany). HCT116 cells were infected with VG9-IL-24, VG9-EGFP, or PBS for 48 h, and apoptotic cells were detected according to the manufacturer’s instructions using BD FACSCalibur (BD Biosciences, Mountain View, CA, USA).
For cell cycle detection, HCT116 cells seeded in six-well plates were infected with VG9-IL-24, VG9-EGFP, or PBS for 48 h and then fixed in 70% cold ethanol overnight at −20°C. Cells were washed with PBS and resuspended in 50 μg/ml of PI solution. After incubation for 30 min in the dark at 37°C, the treated cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (BD FACSCalibur, BD Biosciences). The percentages of G0/G1, S, and G2/M stage cells were quantified using Flow Jo Software (Tristar, Mountain View, CA, USA).

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.
