| Description | Inquire | When 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 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.Component： 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. A. Positive control:Prepare positive control slides using DNaseI treatment. DNaseI can digest single or double stranded DNA and expose the 3 '- OH end, artificially causing cell apoptosis. One experiment per time is sufficient. (To verify if there are any issues with the experimental operation and reagent kit)B.

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.

Read More | Annexin V ( annexin-V ) is a Ca2 + dependent phospholipid binding protein with a molecular weight of 35-36 KD, which can selectively bind to phosphatidylserine ( PS ). Phosphatidylserine ( PS ) is mainly distributed in the inner side of the cell membrane, that is, the side adjacent to the cytoplasm.Annexin V ( annexin-V ) is a Ca2 + dependent phospholipid binding protein with a molecular weight of 35-36 KD, which can selectively bind to phosphatidylserine ( PS ). Phosphatidylserine ( PS ) is mainly distributed in the inner side of the cell membrane, that is, the side adjacent to the cytoplasm. In the early stage of apoptosis, different types of cells will turn phosphatidylserine out to the cell surface and expose to the extracellular environment. At this time, using Annexin V labeled with fluorescent protein PE, that is, Annexin V-PE, combined with phosphatidylserine ( PS ), the eversion of phosphatidylserine, an important feature of apoptosis, can be directly detected by flow cytometry. Normal cells will not be stained by Annexin V-PE, apoptotic or necrotic cells will be stained by Annexin V-PE. Annexin V-PE can be used in combination with partially non-permeable nuclear dye ( 7-AAD / PI ) to distinguish cells at different stages of apoptosis. RedNucleus II provided in this kit is a far-red dye that belongs to an anthraquinone compound and cannot penetrate the intact cell membrane of living cells and early apoptotic cells. It is non-permeable, but can quickly stain the nucleus / dsDNA in dead and permeable cells. RedNucleus II is an ideal substitute for propidium iodide ( PI ) and 7-AAD.Combined with Annexin V-PE, it has better spectral characteristics without compensation regulation : it is not excited by ultraviolet light and does not overlap with PE / PE homologues, so it can be combined with FITC, PE and purple fluorescent dyes for multicolor analysis. When combined with Annexin V-PE, RedNucleus II was excluded from living cells and early apoptotic cells, while late apoptotic cells and dead cells were double-positive for Annexin V-PE and RedNucleus II. Annexin V-PE / RedNucleus II apoptosis detection kit can be detected by flow cytometry or other fluorescence detection equipment.

Experimental design: Blank tube: Negative control group cells, without Annexin V-PE/RedNucleus II. Used to regulate voltage.Single staining tube: Positive control group cells were treated with Annexin V-PE alone/RedNucleus II alone. Used for adjusting compensation.Detection tube: Add Annexin V-PE/RedNucleus II to the processed cells. After adjusting the voltage compensation using blank tubes and single dye tubes, obtain the required flow data.2. Collect cells(1) For suspended cells:a. After inducing cell apoptosis, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, collect the cells, gently resuspend the cells in PBS, and count them.Note: PBS resuspension cannot be omitted. The process of PBS resuspension also serves to wash cells, ensuring the subsequent binding of Annexin V-PE.b. Take 5 × 104-1 × 105 resuspended cells, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and add 100 µ L of 1 × Annexin V binding buffer to gently resuspend the cells. c. Add 5 µ L Annexin V-PE and mix gently.d. Add 5 µ L of RedNucleus II staining solution and mix gently.e. Incubate at room temperature (20-25 º C) in the dark for 15 minutes. Aluminum foil can be used to avoid light. During the incubation process, cells can be resuspended 2-3 times to improve staining efficiency.(2) For adherent cells:a. Suck out the cell culture medium into a suitable centrifuge tube, wash the adherent cells with PBS once, and add an appropriate amount of trypsin cell digestion solution (without EDTA) to digest the cells. Incubate at room temperature until gently blowing can remove the trypsin cell digestion solution when the adherent cells are blown down. Overdigestion of pancreatic enzymes should be avoided.Note: For adherent cells, the trypsin digestion step is crucial. If the trypsin digestion time is too short, cells need to be blown hard to detach, which can easily cause damage to the cell membrane and lead to false positives of cell necrosis; If the digestion time is too long, it can also cause cell membrane damage and false positives of cell necrosis, and even affect the binding of phosphatidylserine and Annexin V-PE on the cell membrane, thereby interfering with the detection of cell apoptosis.b. Add the cell culture medium collected in the previous step, gently blow down the cells, transfer them to a centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, collect the cells, gently resuspend the cells in PBS and count them.Note: Adding the cell culture medium from the previous step is very important. On the one hand, it can collect cells that have already been suspended and undergone apoptosis or necrosis. On the other hand, the serum in the cell culture medium can effectively inhibit or neutralize residual trypsin. The residual trypsin will digest and degrade the subsequently added Annexin V-PE, leading to staining failure.c. Take 5 × 104-1 × 105 resuspended cells, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and add 100 µ L of 1 × Annexin V binding buffer to gently resuspend the cells. d. Add 5 µ L Annexin V-PE and mix gently.e. Add 5 µ L of RedNucleus II staining solution and mix gently.f. Incubate at room temperature (20-25 º C) in the dark for 15 minutes. Aluminum foil can be used to avoid light. During the incubation process, cells can be resuspended 2-3 times to improve staining efficiency.3. Result analysis:(1) Flow cytometry detection:a. After incubation, 400 µ L of 1 × Annexin V binding buffer can be directly added to resuspend the cells, and immediately detected on the machine. Annexin V-PE is excited by 488 nm/566 nm laser, and the fluorescence emission spectrum is detected at 578 nm (BL2 (FL2)/YL1 channel), while the RedNucleus II channel emission spectrum is approximately at 695 nm (RL1 (FL4) channel).b. On the scatter plot of the bivariate flow cytometer, live cells are shown in the lower left quadrant, which is (Annexin V-PE -/RedNucleus II -); The lower right quadrant represents early apoptotic cells, which are (Annexin V-PE+/RedNucleus II -); The upper right quadrant represents necrotic and late stage apoptotic cells, which are (Annexin V-PE+/RedNucleus II+); The upper left quadrant displays naked nuclear cells, which are (Annexin V-PE -/RedNucleus II+).(2) Fluorescence microscopy detection:a. Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, collect cells, and gently resuspend them in 400 µ L of 1 × Annexin V binding buffer. Transfer the cells to a 96 well plate and settle for a moment or perform cell smear, then observe under a fluorescence microscope.b. Annexin V-PE is compatible with PE filters. RedNucleus II can use a far red long pass filter.Matters needing attention：1. please centrifuge the product to the bottom of the tube immediately before use, and then conduct subsequent experiments. 2. to reduce the process of apoptosis, the incubation process can be operated on ice, but the incubation time should be extended to at least 30 min. 3. as apoptosis is a rapid process, it is recommended that samples be analyzed within 1 h after staining. 4. for adherent cells, digestion is a key step. If there are floating cells when adherent cells induce apoptosis, the floating cells and adherent cells should be collected and stained. Handle adherent cells with care to avoid artificial damage to cells. The trypsin digestion time is too short, and the cells need to be blown hard to fall off, which is easy to cause damage to the cell membrane and excessive intake of rednucleus II; If the digestion time is too long, the cell membrane is also prone to damage, and even affect the binding of phosphatidylserine and annexin v-pe on the cell membrane. When digesting, spread pancreatin on the bottom of the well plate, fully contact the pancreatin with the cells when shaking gently, then pour out most of the pancreatin, use the remaining small amount of pancreatin to digest for a period of time, and terminate when the gap between cells increases and the bottom of the bottle is spotted. Try not to use EDTA in the digestive juice, which will affect the binding of annexin V to PS. 5. after the adherent cells are digested with trypsin, it is recommended to stain after recovering in the optimal culture conditions and medium for about 30 min to avoid false positives. 6. in order to avoid losing cells when washing cells, you can use a large tip over a small tip to aspirate. 7. the optimal concentration of dye is determined by the specific experimental requirements. 8. fluorescent dyes have quenching problems. Please try to avoid light during storage and use to slow down fluorescence quenching. 9. for your safety and health, please wear experimental clothes and disposable gloves.Scope of application：Early apoptosis detection, annexin V Kit...

The kit also allows recovery of incompletely purified RNA, in vitro transcription and RNA from enzymatic reactions. high quality RNA with molecular weights greater than 200 bases can be extracted and purified using the kit with virtually no DNA residue. If RNA experiments that are very sensitive to trace DNA are to be performed, residual DNA can be removed by on-column digestion using RNase-free DNase. The extracted RNA can be used in downstream experiments such as RT-PCR, Nothern Blot and Dot Blot. Self-contained reagents: β-mercaptoethanol, anhydrous ethanol (freshly opened or for RNA extraction).Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. 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 during the experiment.2. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of the extracted samples, otherwise it will affect the amount and quality of RNA extraction.3. Please add β-mercaptoethanol to Buffer RL before use, add 10µl of β-mercaptoethanol to 1ml of Buffer RL. Buffer RL with β-mercaptoethanol can be stored for 1 month at room temperature.4. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer RW2 before first use according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.5. Buffer RL may be heated at 56°C to dissolve if precipitation occurs and then left at room temperature.All centrifugation steps are performed at room temperature and all maneuvers are performed quickly.Procedure1. Sample handling1a Tissue: Grind tissue in liquid nitrogen. Add 600 µl Buffer RL for every 20-30 mg of tissue (check for addition of β-mercaptoethanol before use), and 350 µl Buffer RL for tissue samples of less than 20 mg. Sample volume is not to exceed one-tenth of the Buffer RL volume.1b Cells in monolayer culture: Lysed or processed into cell suspension directly in culture flask, centrifuged to obtain cell precipitate, discarded the supernatant, added 600µl Buffer RL for every 6-10 cm2 of culture area, 350µl Buffer RL for less than 6cm2, and blown several times repeatedly to make the cells lysed sufficiently.1c Cell suspension: centrifuge at 12,000 rpm (~13,400 × g) for 1 min and discard the supernatant to obtain the cell precipitate. Add 600 µl Buffer RL for every 5×106-1×107 cells, and 350 µl Buffer RL for less than 5×106 cells, and blow several times repeatedly to fully lysate.Note: 1) Try to get rid of the cell culture medium, which may inhibit cell lysis affecting RNA yield.2) Try to keep the cells well suspended and well lysed, otherwise RNA yield is affected.2. After the sample is fully lysed, leave it at room temperature for 5 minutes to allow complete separation of the protein-nucleic acid complex.3. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 2-5 min and remove the supernatant for the following operations.4. Add 1x volume (600µl or 350µl) of 70% ethanol (prepared without RNase water) to the solution obtained in step 3 and mix well.Note: The addition of ethanol may produce a precipitate that will not affect subsequent experiments.5. Add all of the solution obtained in the previous step to the Spin Columns RM in the collection tube. If you cannot add all of the solution to the column at once, transfer it in two passes, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, and discard the waste solution. Place the column back into the collection tube.Note: The maximum loading capacity of the adsorption column is 100µg, do not overload as this will affect the yield and purity of the RNA.6. Add 350 µl Buffer RW1 to the adsorbent column, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 min, discard the waste liquid and put the adsorbent column back into the collection tube.7. Preparation of DNase I mixture: Take 52 µl of RNase-Free Water, add 8 µl of 10×Reaction Buffer and 20 µl of DNase I (1 U/µl) to it, mix well, and prepare a final volume of 80 µl of reaction solution.8. Add 80µl of DNase I mixture directly to the adsorption column and incubate at 20-30°C for 15 minutes.9. Add 200 µl Buffer RW1 to the adsorbent column, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 min, discard the waste liquid and put the adsorbent column back into the collection tube.10. Add 500µl Buffer RW2 to the column (check that anhydrous ethanol is added before use), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the column back into the collection tube.11. Repeat step 10.12. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 2 minutes and pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube. Leave the adsorption column at room temperature for a few minutes to thoroughly dry the anhydrous ethanol in the adsorption column.Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorption column, which can interfere with subsequent enzymatic reactions (digestion, PCR, etc.).13. Transfer the adsorbent column into a new centrifuge tube, add 30-50 µl of RNase-Free Water to the middle of the adsorbent membrane, leave it at room temperature for 1 min, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 min, collect the RNA solution, and store the RNA at -70°C to prevent degradation.Note: 1) The volume of RNase-Free Wate should not be less than 30 µl, too small volume affects the recovery rate.2) If you want to increase the RNA yield, repeat step 13 with 30-50 µl of fresh RNase-Free Water.3) If the RNA concentration is to be increased, the resulting solution can be reintroduced into the adsorption column and step 13 repeated...
