Compared with other fluorescent substrates or fluorescent inhibitors of Caspase based on ( FLICA ) analysis, aladdin 488 Caspase-3 Substrate does not inhibit the apoptosis process of intact cells while detecting Caspase-3 activity. Substrate is composed of fluorescent DNA dyes coupled with Caspase-3 DEVD recognition sequence. Substrate initially had no fluorescence and entered the cytoplasm through the cell membrane. In apoptotic cells, Caspase-3 cleaves the Substrate and releases high-affinity DNA staining, which migrates to the nucleus to label DNA and emits bright green fluorescence.Therefore, aladdin 488 Caspase-3 Substrate is bifunctional, which can not only detect Caspase-3 activity, but also visualize the morphological changes of the nucleus during apoptosis. Aladdin 488 staining can be fixed in formaldehyde and compatible with subsequent immunostaining experiments.Parameters:aladdin 488：Ex/Em = 500/530 nm (with DNA)Component：Points for attention：1.Please instantaneously centrifuge the product to the bottom of the tube before use, and then carry out subsequent experiments. 2.Cells can be co-stained with a final concentration of 1µM Hoechst 33342 dye to produce blue fluorescence staining of the nucleus ( Ex / Em = 346 / 460 nm ). 3.Aladdin 488 staining can be fixed by formaldehyde, but it is not compatible with methanol fixation. 4.Formaldehyde-fixed aladdin 488-stained cells can be treated with 0.1 % TritonX-100 for subsequent staining, but the brightness of the treated staining may be weakened. 5.Fluorescent dyes all have quenching problems, please try to avoid light to slow down the fluorescence quenching. 6.For your safety and health, please wear experimental clothes and wear disposable gloves.Scope of application：Caspase 3 kit and apoptosis detectionUsage:1. Experimental optimization: The experimental steps provided below are based on the endpoint detection system. Aladdin 488 Substrate can also be used for long-term cell incubation course research. Cell density, substrate concentration, and inhibitor concentration may need to be optimized. The optimal substrate concentration may be between 1-10 µ Between M. Cells can be incubated with substrates in culture medium, PBS, or other buffer of your choice. For adherent cells, we recommend replacing them with fresh culture media containing substrates to prevent background heterogeneity. The operation of changing the medium or washing the cells after substrate incubation is freely selectable.2. We suggest that you set the following controls:A. Negative control: cells that do not induce apoptosis;B. Positive control: cells that induce apoptosis;C. Inhibitor control: Induce cell apoptosis while incubating Caspase-3/7 inhibitors (or 10-30 minutes in advance), and finally add Aladdin 488 Caspase-3 substrate.3. The Caspase-3/7 inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO in the Ac-DEVD-CHO Caspase-3 inhibitor control kit can be used to confirm that Caspase-3/7 depends on the fluorescence signal of aladdin 488. For inhibitor control, the final concentration of the inhibitor should be at least twice the substrate concentration (e.g. when using 5 µ At substrate M aladdin 488, the concentration of Ac-DEVD-CHO is 10 µ M). Before adding the substrate, incubate Ac-DEVD-CHO at room temperature for 15-30 minutes. After adding the substrate, continue to retain the inhibitor in the incubation solution. Ac-DEVD-CHO is a reversible competitive inhibitor. In certain cell types, effective Caspase-3/7 inhibitors require the use of irreversible inhibitors, such as Z-DEVD-FMK, or the addition of inhibitors before or during apoptosis induction.4.

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. The specific formulation and incubation time areas follows:/The final concentration of Lysozyme in TE bufferincubation timeG-germ400µg/ml3-5minG+germ3mg/ml5-10min 3. Add 350 µl of Buffer RL (check that β-mercaptoethanol has been added beforeuse), vortex and shake to mix (insoluble precipitate may appear in this step), addall of the solution and the precipitate to the filter columns (Spin Columns FL) thathave been loaded into the collection tubes, and centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 2minutes. 4. Add 250 µl of anhydrous ethanol to the filtrate obtained in the previous stepand mix well (a precipitate may appear at this point). Transfer the resulting solution together with the precipitate to a Spin Columns RM packed in a collectiontube, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 min, discard the waste solution and put thecolumn back into the collection tube.5. Add 350 µl Buffer RW1 to the adsorbent column, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for1min, discard the waste liquid and put the adsorbent column back into the collectiontube.6. Preparation of DNase I mixture: Take 52µl of RNase-Free Water, add 8µl of 10×Reaction Buffer and 20µl of DNase I (1U/µl) to it, mix well, and make a finalvolume of 80µl of reaction solution.7. Add 80µl of DNase I mixture directly to the adsorption column and incubate at20-30°C for 15 minutes.8. Add 350 µl Buffer RW1 to the adsorbent column, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for1min, discard the waste liquid and put the adsorbent column back into the collectiontube.9. Add 500 µl of Buffer RW2 to the column (check that anhydrous ethanol is addedbefore use), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 min, and discard the waste solution.10. Repeat step 9.11. Place the adsorbent column back into the collection tube and centrifuge at 12,000rpm for 2 minutes. Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorptioncolumn; ethanol residue can interfere with subsequent enzymatic reactions (zymography, PCR, etc.).12. Load the adsorption column into a new RNase-Free collection tube, add 30-50 µl of RNase-Free Water to the middle of the adsorption membrane, leave it at roomtemperature for 1 minute, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, collect the RNAsolution, and store the RNA at -70°C to prevent degradation. Note: 1) The volume of RNase-Free Water should not be less than 30 µl, too smallvolume affects the recovery rate. 2) If you want to increase the RNA yield, repeat step 12 with 30-50 µl of freshRNase-Free Water. If the RNA concentration is to be increased, the resulting solution can be reintroduced into the adsorption column and step 12 repeated... Read More |
