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. Flow cytometry(1) Choose appropriate methods to induce cell apoptosis, with untreated cell samples as controls.(2) Adhering cells should be digested with trypsin or other methods before performing the aladdin 488 Caspase-3 experiment.(3) Resuspend cells with culture medium or buffer to achieve a cell density of 106 cells/mL(4) Suck 0.2 mL of cell suspension into a flow cytometry test tube.(5) Inhibitor control samples were treated with Ac-DEVD-CHO on cells (see 3 above) Ac-DEVD-CHO Caspase-3 inhibitor control.(6) 200 µ Add 5 to L cell suspension µ Substrate of 0.2 mM and immediately mix to achieve a substrate concentration of 5 µ M. The optimal substrate concentration for different cells may vary and requires analysis and optimization.(7) Incubate cells at room temperature in dark for 15-30 minutes.(8) Join 300 µ L-medium or PBS, analyzed by flow cytometry. Detect the channel for green fluorescence (Ex/Em=485/515 nm).5. Fluorescence microscope(1) Choose appropriate methods to induce cell apoptosis, with untreated cell samples as controls.(2) Inhibitor control samples were treated with Ac-DEVD-CHO on cells (see 3 above) Ac-DEVD-CHO Caspase-3 inhibitor control.(3) Using a solution containing 5 µ M Substrate's fresh culture medium or PBS is used to replace the cell culture medium (see 1 above) Experimental optimization). For the inhibitor control group, the inhibitor was incubated together with the substrate.(4) Incubate cells at room temperature for 30 minutes or longer.(5) Cells can be directly observed in culture media containing Substrate. For the endpoint analysis method, PBS was used to clean the cells, fluorescence microscopy was used to observe the cells, and a filter (Ex/Em=485/515 nm) was used to observe green fluorescence.6. Fluorescence enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader(1) Adherent cells grow in black 96 well plates; Suspend cells, adjust the density to 106 cells/mL, and divide 0.2 mL of cell suspension into one well.(2) Choose appropriate methods to induce cell apoptosis, with untreated cell samples as controls. Note: Cells may be processed in tubes or bottles and then transferred to a 96 well detection plate.(3) Inhibitor control samples were treated with Ac-DEVD-CHO on cells (see 3 above) Ac-DEVD-CHO Caspase-3 inhibitor control.(4) For suspended cells, directly add Substrate and mix well. For adherent cells, use a solution containing 5 µ M Substrate's fresh culture medium or PBS is used to replace the cell culture medium (see 1 above) Experimental optimization). For the inhibitor control group, the inhibitor was incubated together with the substrate.(5) Cells can be directly observed in culture media containing Substrate.(6) For suspended cells, gently shake to resuspend the cells. The fluorescence enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay instrument is set with an excitation wavelength of 488 nm and an emission wavelength of 520 nm.

One can choose to use the three enzymes in combination to completely remove all N-linked glycans present on a glycoprotein or peptide,The Endo F Multi-Kit will deglycosylate N-linked glycans in both native and denatured conditions. Each enzyme has a distinct specificity for N-linked glycan release. One can choose to use the three enzymes in combination to completely remove all N-linked glycans present on a glycoprotein or peptide, or to use each enzyme independently and thereby determine the type of N-glycans present.Product DescriptionThe Endo F Multi-kit is recommended to deglycosylate native proteins that are resistant to PNGase F cleavage under non-denatured conditions due to the glycan location within the protein’s three-dimensional structure, as these enzymes are known to be less sensitive to protein conformation.Each of the enzymes has a different N-linked glycan specificity:Endoglycosidase F1 cleaves high mannose and some hybrid type N-glycansEndoglycosidase F2 releases biantennary and high mannose glycans (at a 40X reduced rate)Endoglycosidase F3 will release triantennarry and fucosylated biantennary N-glycansContents1 vial: Endo F1- 20 µl (0.3 U)20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.51 vial: Endo F2- 20 µl (0.1 U)10 mM sodium acetate, 25 mM NaCl, pH 4.51 vial: Endo F3- 20 µl (0.1 U)20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.51 vial: 5x Reaction Buffer - 400 µl250 mM sodium acetate, pH4.51 vial: 5x Reaction Buffer - 400 µl250 mM sodium phosphate, pH5.5Specific ActivityDefined as the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the release of N-linked oligosaccharides from 1 micro-mole of denatured Ribonuclease B (Endo F1) or porcine fibrinogen peptides (Endo F2/F3) in 1 minute at 37°C, pH 5.5 (PH 4.5 for Endo F3). Cleavage is monitored by SDS-PAGE.FormulationThe enzymes are provided as a sterile-filtered solution.StabilitySeveral days exposure to ambient temperatures will not reduce activity. Stable at least 12 months when stored properly.SpecificityEndo F1 cleaves Asparagine-linked (N-linked) high mannose or hybrid oligosaccharides. Endo F2 cleaves N-linked biantennary oligosaccharides and high mannose (at a 40X reduced rate). Endo F3 cleaves free or N-linked fucosylated biantennary or triantennary oligosaccharides,as well as triamannosylchitobiose core structures. These enzymes cleave between the two N-acetylglucosamine residues in the diacetylchitobiose core of the oligosaccharide, generating a truncated sugar molecule with one N-acetylglucosamine residue remaining on the asparagine. The recombinant version is not glycosylated, which may result in properties differing from the native protein.Quality & PurityEndo F1, Endo F2, and Endo F3 are tested for contaminating protease as follows: 10 µg of denatured BSA is incubated at 37°C for 24 hours with 2 µl of enzyme. SDS-PAGE analysis of the treated BSA shows no evidence of degradation. The absence of exoglycosidase contaminants is confirmed by extended incubations with the corresponding pNP-glycosides. Directions for use 1. Add up to 200 µg of glycoprotein to an Eppendorf tube. Adjust to 34 µl final volume with de-ionized water. 2. Add 10 µl Endo F2 &F3 5x Reaction Buffer, 250 mM sodium acetate pH 4.5. Use Endo F1 buffer, 250 mM sodium phosphate pH 5.5 if you are using the Endo F1 enzyme alone. 4. Add 2.0 µl of each enzyme to the reaction. Incubate 3 hours at 37°C. Monitor cleavage by SDS-PAGE. Applications– Deglycosylation of native proteins resistant to PNGase F cleavage– Determination of glycan type (high mannose, biantennary, tri/tetrantennary)– Deglycosylating proteins which normally precipitate when deglycosylating– X-Ray CrystallographyThese three enzymes cleave asparagine-linked (N-linked) oligosaccharides between the two GlcNAc residues in the core of the oligosaccharide, generating a truncated sugar molecule with one N-acetylglucosamine residue remaining on the asparagine, enhancing the solubility of the protein. In contrast, PNGase F removes the oligosaccharide intact...

The kit adopts a silica matrix membrane that can specifically bind DNA and a unique buffer system to adsorb DNA efficiently and specifically, and 0.5-3.5 µg of genomic DNA can be obtained from each swab, and the extracted DNA fragments are large, pure and of stable and reliable quality. It is suitable for enzyme digestion, PCR, library construction, Southern hybridization and other experiments.Self-contained reagent: anhydrous ethanol.Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer GW1 and Buffer GW2 according to the instructions on the label of the reagent bottle before first use.2. If precipitation is found in Buffer GL before use, dissolve Buffer GL in a 56°C water bath.3. All centrifugation steps can be performed at room temperature.4. Sampling: Use a buccal swab to wipe the inside of the mouth 6 times, dry for 2 hours and store. To ensure that the sample is not contaminated by food or drink, do not eat or drink for 30 minutes before sampling.Procedure1. The swab of the buccal swab was cut from the rod with scissors and placed in a 2mL centrifuge tube (supplied) and 400µL Buffer GR was added.Note: For genomic DNA without RNA contamination, add 4 µL of RNase A solution at a concentration of 100 mg/ml and shake to mix.2. Add 20 µL of Proteinase K and 400 µL of Buffer GL, immediately vortex and shake for 15 seconds and mix thoroughly.Note: Mix well immediately after adding Buffer GL; do not add Proteinase K directly to Buffer GL for use.3.56°C for 10 minutes and centrifuge briefly so that the solution on the walls of the tube collects at the bottom.4. Add 400 µL of anhydrous ethanol, vortex and shake to mix thoroughly, and centrifuge briefly so that the solution on the wall of the tube collects at the bottom of the tube.Note: The addition of anhydrous ethanol may produce a white precipitate that will not affect subsequent experiments.5. Add the solution and precipitate obtained in the previous step to the Spin Columns DS in two batches of up to 700 µL at a time into the collection tube. centrifuge the column at 12,000 rpm (∼13,400 × g) for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid from the collection tube, and return the column to the collection tube.6. Add 500 µL of Buffer GW1 to the adsorbent column (check that anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the adsorbent column back into the collection tube.7. Add 500 µL of Buffer GW2 to the adsorption column (check that anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge the column at 12,000 rpm for 3 minutes, pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube, and put the column back into the collection tube.Note: Step 7 can be repeated if further DNA purity is required.8. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute and pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube. Leave the adsorption column at room temperature for several minutes to dry thoroughly.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.).9. Place the adsorption column in a new 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, add 50 µL of Buffer GE or sterilized water to the middle of the adsorption column overhanging the column, let stand at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute, collect the DNA solution, and store at -20℃.Attention:(1) If the downstream experiment is sensitive to pH or EDTA, it can be eluted with sterilized water. The pH value of the eluent has a great influence on the elution efficiency. If the eluent is made of water, the pH value should be 7.0-8.5 (the pH value of water can be adjusted to this range by using NaOH), and the elution efficiency is not high when the pH value is lower than 7.0.2) For long-term storage, it is recommended to elute with Buffer GE and store at -20°C...
