Annexin 5 fitc and pi staining kit

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States

The Annexin V-FITC and PI staining kit is a laboratory tool used for the detection and quantification of apoptosis in cells. Annexin V, a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein, is conjugated to the fluorescent dye FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate) to identify cells undergoing apoptosis. Propidium iodide (PI) is included to identify cells with compromised cell membranes, which can occur during late apoptosis or necrosis.

Cell apoptosis was assessed using annexin-V-FITC and PI staining kit (BD Biosciences). In total, 5×105 cells were collected by trypsinization at 37°C for 5 min, centrifuged under 200 × g at 4°C for 5 min and washed twice with PBS, resuspended in 500 µl 1X binding buffer and incubated in 5 µl Annexin V-FITC and 5 µl PI solution in the dark for 15 min at RT. Cells were analyzed using an integrated BD Accuri™ C6 system (BD Biosciences). The gates for flow cytometry was set using following steps: Target cell population was circled by detecting unstained cells. Annexin V-FITC single positive cells were detected, following which fluorescence compensation was adjusted to ensure no particles were in the upper left (UL) and upper right (UR) quadrants. PI single positive cells were detected and fluorescence compensation was adjusted to ensure no particles were present in the upper right (UR) and lower right (LR) quadrants. A total of four populations of cells were observed: i) Cells that were viable and not undergoing apoptosis are both FITC-Annexin V and PI-negative (LL); ii) cells undergoing apoptosis were FITC-Annexin V-positive and PI-negative (LR); iii) the cells that are undergoing late apoptosis or necrotic are both positive for FITC-Annexin V and PI (UL and UR).

Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Analysis

Cell cycle was determined by using propidium iodide (PI) DNA staining. Briefly, 2 × 106 cells were harvested and fixed in 70% (v/v) cold ethanol for 1 h. After washing 3 times with cold PBS, the supernatant was removed, and cells were resuspended in 1 mL of DNA staining solution (PBS containing 2% PI (wt/v) and 2% DNase free RNase (wt/v) for 30 min at room temperature and in the dark. Cells were then analyzed by FACS Canto II (BD, USA) using 488-nm laser for excitation. Red fluorescence of PI (> 600 nm) was measured with side scatter (SSC) and forward scatter (FSC), collecting at least 20,000 events. Residual debris was gated-out by using multilabel microbeads with sizes of 2 and 3 µm.
Apoptotic cells are detected by Annexin V-FITC and PI staining kit (BD, USA). Single and co-culture cells were collected and stained with Annexin V-FITC for 10 min, then with PI for 5 min at room temperature, in the dark. Stained cells were measured on FACS Canto II and data was analyzed by FACS Diva software. The results were presented as percentage of late and early apoptotic cells.

Apoptosis Analysis of BLM-Induced Cell Death

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MLE-12 cells were inoculated in each well of 6-well plates with DMEM/F12 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) for 24 h. Each plate contained three groups: control, BLM, and BLM plus MFD group. After incubation in medium with 2% FBS for 12 h, MFD group was pretreated with MFD (40 μg/ml) for 2 h. Afterwards, BLM group and MFD group were incubated with BLM (400 μg/ml) for 24 h to induce cell death. Cells were then collected, and stained with the FITC Annexin V and PI staining kit (BD Pharmingen, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This assay discriminates between intact (FITC/PI), early apoptotic (FITC+/PI), and later apoptotic (FITC+/PI+) cells. Data were obtained with an Aurora-10 (Cytek) flow cytometer and analyzed with FlowJo 10.1.

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.
