These endonucleases will cut off genomic DNA between nucleosomes and produce 180 bp-200 BP DNA fragments, which appear as a specific ladder pattern in agarose gel electrophoresis. When double strand or single strand breaks occurWhen apoptosis occurs, some DNA endonucleases will be activated. These endonucleases will cut off genomic DNA between nucleosomes and produce 180 bp-200 BP DNA fragments, which appear as a specific ladder pattern in agarose gel electrophoresis. When double strand or single strand breaks occur in genomic DNA, a large number of sticky 3'-oh ends will be generated, which can interact with YF under the catalysis of deoxyribonucleotide terminal transferase (TDT) ®/ CY dUTP binding can directly detect apoptotic cells by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. This kind of method is called terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL). Because normal or proliferating cells have almost no DNA breaks, there is no 3'-oh formation and they can rarely be stained. TUNEL method can stain intact single apoptotic nuclei or apoptotic bodies in situ, can accurately reflect the typical biochemical and morphological characteristics of apoptosis, and can detect a very small number of apoptotic cells, so it is widely used in the study of apoptosis. This kit has a wide range of applications and can be used to detect apoptosis in frozen or paraffin sections, as well as cultured adherent cells or suspended cells. It can selectively detect apoptotic cells, but not necrotic cells or cells with DNA strand breaks caused by irradiation and drug treatment. This kit detects cell apoptosis with a short time-consuming, one-step staining reaction and can be detected after washing.Product parameters：555/565 nmComponent： Instruction： Experimental materials (self provided)PBS buffer (1 x, pH~7.4). 0.2% Triton X -100 (PBS formulation). 0.1% Triton X -100 (PBS formulation, containing 5 mg/mLBSA)4% paraformaldehyde (prepared with PBS)Immunohistochemical penDewaxing solvent (paraffin section sample)Related reagents for paraffin section processingAnti fluorescence quenching and sealing agent. ddH2Oexperimental design.

Experimental control group.The experimental group operated normally according to the instructions.Experimental steps1. Sample preparation:(1) For adherent cells or cell smearsa. Clean once with PBS.Note: If you are concerned that the cells on the cell smear may not adhere firmly, you can dry the sample to make the cells adhere more firmly.b. Fixation: Add an appropriate amount of 4% paraformaldehyde (prepared with PBS) and fix at 4 ℃ for 30 minutes. Clean twice with PBS.c. Translucency: Add an appropriate amount of 0.2% Triton X -100 (prepared with PBS) and let it penetrate at room temperature for 20 minutes. Clean twice with PBS.d. Step 2: TUNEL reaction.(2) For suspended cells or cell suspensionsa. Collect cells (3-5 x 106 cells), centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, and wash twice with PBS.b. Fixation: Add an appropriate amount of 4% paraformaldehyde (prepared with PBS) and resuspend the cells thoroughly. Fix at 4 ℃ for 30 minutes. Centrifuge at 2000 rpm for 5 minutes and clean twice with PBS.c. Translucency: Add an appropriate amount of 0.2% Triton X -100 (prepared with PBS) and let it penetrate at room temperature for 20 minutes. Centrifuge at 2000 rpm for 5 minutes and clean twice with PBS.d. Step 2: TUNEL reaction.(3) Paraffin tissue sectioninga. Dewaxing and hydration: Place the sliced samples sequentially in xylene I (10 min) → xylene II (10 min) → 100% ethanol I (5 min) → 100% ethanol II (5 min) → 95% ethanol (5 min) → 90% ethanol (5 min) → 80% ethanol (5 min) → 70% ethanol (5 min) → ddH2O rinse for 5 min, rinse twice.Note: Xylene is toxic and volatile. Please perform this operation in a fume hood.b. Use filter paper to dry the liquid around the sliced sample, and circle the sample contour with an immunohistochemical pen for downstream transparency and labeling.Note: If it is found that the contour circle of immunohistochemistry strokes is damaged in subsequent experimental operations, it needs to be redrawn in a timely manner.c. Transparency: Dilute 2 mg/mL of ProteinaseK solution with PBS in a ratio of 1:100 to a final concentration of 20 µ g/mL. Add 100 µ L dropwise to each sample to cover all sample areas. Incubate at 20-37 ℃ for 20 minutes.Note: Protein K can penetrate the cell membrane and nuclear membrane, allowing subsequent staining reagents to fully enter the nucleus for reaction and improve labeling efficiency. An excessively long incubation time increases the risk of tissue slices falling off the carrier film during subsequent washing steps, while a too short incubation time may result in insufficient permeability treatment and affect labeling efficiency. To obtain better results, the concentration, incubation time, and temperature of Protein K need to be optimized according to different types of tissue samples.d. Wash the slices twice with PBS, each time for 5 minutes. Use filter paper to remove excess liquid, and place the processed sample in a wet box to keep it moist.Note: Protein K must be washed thoroughly in this step, otherwise it will seriously interfere with subsequent labeling reactions.e.

Based on the lysis of cells by alkaline lysis method, it adopts a unique silica matrix membrane adsorption technology and reagent formulation, and efficiently and exclusively binds plasmid DNA in solution by centrifugal adsorption columns in a high-salt state, and each adsorption column can adsorb a maximum of 30 µg of plasmid DNA, and removes proteins, genomes, RNAs, and other impurities to the greatest extent possible. The plasmid DNA obtained can be directly used for cell transfection, PCR, digestion, sequencing, ligation and other biological experiments.Self-contained reagent: anhydrous ethanol.Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. All components can be stably stored in dry, room temperature (15-30℃) environment for 1 year, the adsorption column can be stored at 2-8℃ for a longer period of time, and Buffer P1 with RNase A can be stably stored at 2-8℃ for 6 months.2. Before the first use, add all the RNase A solution into Buffer P1, mix well, and store it at 2-8°C. Before use, leave it at room temperature for a period of time, and then use it after recovering to room temperature.3. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer PW according to the instructions on the label of the reagent bottle before first use.4. If precipitation is found in Buffer P2, Buffer N3, or Buffer PB before use, the clarification can be restored by water bath at 37℃ for a few minutes (please do not shake Buffer P2 violently).5. Be careful not to touch Buffer P2, Buffer N3 and Buffer PB directly, and tighten the lid immediately after use.6. The amount and purity of extracted plasmid is related to the concentration of bacterial culture, strain type, plasmid size, plasmid copy number and other factors.Procedure1. Take 1-5 ml of the overnight culture and add it to a centrifuge tube (self-prepared), centrifuge for 30 seconds at 13,000 rpm (~16,200×g) to collect the bacterial precipitate, and discard the supernatant as much as possible.2. Add 250 µl of Buffer P1 to the centrifuge tube with the bacterial precipitate (please check that RNase A has been added first), mix well using a pipette or vortex shaker, and suspend the bacterial precipitate.Note: If the bacterial mass is not thoroughly mixed, it will affect the lysis effect, resulting in low extraction and purity.3. Add 250µl of Buffer P2 to the centrifuge tube and mix gently up and down 4-6 times, mixing well to lyse the organisms, at which point the solution should become clear and viscous.Note: Mix gently, do not shake vigorously to avoid interrupting the genomic DNA and causing the extracted plasmid to be mixed with genomic DNA fragments. This step should take no more than 5 minutes to avoid damage to the plasmid.4. Add 350 µl of Buffer N3 to the centrifuge tube and immediately mix gently up and down for 8-10 times, mixing well so that a white flocculent precipitate should appear. centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 5 minutes.Note: Buffer N3 should be mixed immediately after addition to avoid localized precipitation.5.

Self-contained reagents: Lysozyme, β-mercaptoethanol, anhydrous ethanol (freshlyopened or for RNA extraction). Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes 1. To prevent RNase contamination, attention should be paid to the following aspects:1) Use RNase-free plastics and tips to avoid cross-contamination. 2) RNase-free water should be used to prepare the solution. 3) Operators wear disposable masks and gloves, and change gloves diligently duringthe experiment. 2. Add β-mercaptoethanol to Buffer RL before use to reach a final concentrationof 1%, e.g., add 10 µl of β-mercaptoethanol to 1 ml of Buffer RL. Buffer RL withβ-mercaptoethanol can be stored at 4℃ for 1 month, if precipitation occurs, pleaseheat to dissolve and use.3. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer RW2 before first use according tothe instructions on the reagent bottle label. 4. All centrifugation steps are carried out at room temperature if not otherwisespecified, and all steps should be performed quickly. Procedure 1. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm (~13,400 x g) at 4°C for 2 minutes to collect theorganisms (maximum volume of organisms should not exceed 1 x 109) and carefullyremove all supernatants. Note: Supernatants that leave residues can interfere with the subsequent digestionprocess. 2. Thoroughly resuspend the organisms with 100 µl of TE buffer containing Lysozymeand incubate at room temperature.
