| Description | Annexins are a family of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins that preferentially bind phosphatidylserine (PS). Under normal physiologic conditions, PS is predominantly located in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. Upon initiation of apoptosis, PS loses its asymmetric Annexins are a family of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins that preferentially bind phosphatidylserine (PS). Under normal physiologic conditions, PS is predominantly located in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. Upon initiation of apoptosis, PS loses its asymmetric distribution across the phospholipid bilayer and is translocated to the extracellular membrane leaflet marking cells as targets of phagocytosis. Once on the outer surface of the membrane, PS can be detected by fluorescently labeled Annexin V in a calcium-dependent manner. In early-stage apoptosis, the plasma membrane excludes viability dyes such as propidium iodide (PI), 7-AAD. These cells will stain with Annexin V but not a viability dye, thus distinguishing cells in early apoptosis. However, in late stage apoptosis, the cell membrane loses integrity thereby allowing Annexin V to also access PS in the interior of the cell. A viability dye can be used to resolve these late-stage apoptotic and necrotic cells (Annexin V, viability dye-positive) from the early-stage apoptotic cells (Annexin V positive, viability dye-negative). This kit is suitable for the identification and enumeration of dead cells, such as apoptotic or necrotic cells, by flow cytometry.

Please try to avoid light when using to slow down the quenching of fluorescence. 2. 7-AAD Solution is toxigenic and mutagenic; handle with care. 3. Due to the calcium dependence of the Annexin V:PS interaction, it is critical to avoid buffers containing EDTA or other calcium chelators during Annexin V experiments. Instruction for use 1. Dilute 10x Binding Buffer to 1x using distilled water (1 mL 10x Binding Buffer + 9 mL ddH2O). 2. Wash cells twice with cold PBS and then resuspend the desired amount of cells in Annexin V Binding Buffer at a concentration of 0.5-1.0x10⁶ cells /mL . 3. Add 2 µL of APC Annexin V and 2 µL 7-AAD to 100 µL of the cell suspension. 4. Add 100 µL of 1x Binding Buffer to each assay. Gently vortex the cells and incubate for 10 min at RT (25°C) in the dark. 5. Analyze by flow cytometry within 1 hr...

This is achieved by (1) spiking a complex Internal Standard (WORKFLOW-A) into a biological sample to a) quantify all the biochemicals in the sample relative to their counterparts in the Internal Standard, b) suppression-correct each compound and c) normalize sample to sample variances; and (2) injecting the same well characterized Long-Term Reference Standard (WORKFLOW-B) to create a daily retention time (RT) library of all compounds to be found in the Internal Standard for reproducible ID, and to measure day-to-day (QA/QC) to assure reproducible instrument performance. The system is completely automated using IROA ClusterFinder™software.IROA TruQuant IQQ Workflow Kit contains the materials and tools for the analysis of 90 experimental samples.

Please prepare 50 ml of fixed solution (ultrapure water: ethanol: acetic acid=6:3:1), 50 ml of eluent (10% ethanol), and 50 ml of termination solution (5% acetic acid) in advance.2. Please use deionized water and clean glass or plastic containers during operation, and wear disposable gloves for operation.The entire silver dyeing process needs to be carried out on a shaker, with a rotation speed of about 60 rpm.4. Self prepared ethanol and glacial acetic acid are required.Instructions for useThe dosage of each solution in the following operation steps takes the gel with a size of 8.5 × 5.5 cm and a thickness of 1.0 mm as an example. The gel is immersed in the solution completely, and is operated on a shaker, with a general dosage of 25 ml. For large gel, the dosage of each solution should be scaled up according to the gel volume. Please prepare 50 ml of fixed solution (ultrapure water: ethanol: glacial acetic acid=6:3:1), 50 ml of eluent (10% ethanol), and 50 ml of termination solution (5% glacial acetic acid) in advance.1. Water washing: After electrophoresis is completed, wash the gel twice with ultrapure water for 5 minutes each time.2. Fixation: Fix the gel twice with 25 ml of fixative solution for 15 minutes each time.3. Elution: Wash the adhesive twice with eluent, each time for 5 minutes.4. Water washing: Wash the glue twice with ultrapure water, each time for 5 minutes.5. Sensitization: put the gel washed in the previous step into the silver dye sensitization working solution, incubate it accurately for 1 minute at room temperature, and then wash it with ultrapure water for three times, each time for 20 seconds. Preparation of silver staining sensitization working solution: Take 50 µ l Silver Stain Sensitivity (500 x) and add it to 25 ml of ultrapure water, mix well.6. Silver staining: discard ultrapure water and incubate gel in silver staining working solution for 30 minutes. Preparation of silver staining working solution: Take 25ml Silver Stain and add 50 µ l Silver Stain Enhanced to mix well.7. Water washing: Quickly wash the glue twice with ultrapure water, with each washing accurately controlled for 20 seconds.8. Development: Immerse the washed gel in the developer immediately and incubate it at room temperature for 2-3 minutes until the protein strip is clear. Preparation of developer: Take 25ml Silver Stain Developer and add 30 µ l Silver Stain Enhanced to mix well. Attention: Within 30 seconds of development, protein bands begin to appear and continue to develop for 2-3 minutes. If the protein band appears lighter, the development time can be appropriately extended to 5 minutes or more.9. Termination: After washing the developer on the gel with the termination solution, soak the gel in a new termination solution to react for 10 minutes.Experimental imagesSilver staining results of BSA protein samples after 10% SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresisThe molecular weight of BSA protein is about 66 kD, and the loading amounts from left to right are 50 ng, 10 ng, and 5 ng, respectively...
