| 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 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole （DAPI）, 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.A1456540Components20 T50 T100 TStorageQuantity Per TestA1456540A10× Annexin V Binding Buffer5 mL10 mL20 mL2-8℃200 µL per 0.5-1.0 × 10⁵ cellsA1456540BAnnexin V -PE-Cy5200 µL500 µL1000 µL2-8℃.

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.

After the primary antibody of rabbit or mouse origin binds to the corresponding target antigen, the biotinylated antibody in this kit • • Rabbit/mouse universal secondary antibody This reagent kit is designed based on the principle that biotin and Streptavidin have a strong affinity. After the primary antibody of rabbit or mouse origin binds to the corresponding target antigen, the biotinylated antibody in this kit • • Rabbit/mouse universal secondary antibody specifically binds to the primary antibody; The biotin labeled on the secondary antibody binds to streptavidin labeled with peroxidase (HRP), forming an antigen-specific primary antibody biotinylated secondary antibody streptavidin complex labeled with HRP.

Add 1 drop (approximately 50) to each slice µ l) Calculation: 3ml can make 60 slices, and 18ml can make 360 slices.2.For tissues with abundant endogenous biotin content, it is best to use endogenous biotin blockers for blocking when using this kit.3. DAB working solution is prepared and used immediately, and the prepared working solution is effective within 1 hour in the dark at 2-8 ° C.4. During the experiment, avoid drying the tissue slices, so the amount of working fluid used during each incubation step must be sufficient to ensure complete coverage of the tissue sample, and incubation should be carried out in a wet box as much as possible.5. To obtain the best experimental results, please make sure to optimize the experimental conditions and reagent dosage.6. DAB is a suspected carcinogen, please take necessary protective measures when using it. 7.

Routine processing of samples such as paraffin or frozen tissue sections or cell slides to be tested.1) Preparation for staining of tissue sections or cell slides: a. Dewaxing and hydration of paraffin sections: bake at 60 º C for 1 hour, dewaxing twice with xylene for 5 minutes each time; Then immerse in gradient ethanol (anhydrous ethanol anhydrous ethanol 95% 85% 75% ethanol) and distilled water for 5 minutes each for hydration. b. Frozen sections and cell climbing sections (or climbing sections) were soaked in 0.01 M pH 7.4 PBS and washed 3 times for 5 minutes. Then cover the tissue (or cells) with 0.1% Triton X-100 and infiltrate for 15 minutes. Wash twice with 0.01 M pH 7.4 PBS for 5 minutes.2) Antigen repair of paraffin sections: In most cases, high-pressure repair with citric acid buffer is suitable for paraffin tissue sections.

Repair process: The repair solution is added to a high-pressure cooker, and the repaired slices are immersed in the repair solution (must have no tissue). Cover the pressure cooker cover, heat until evenly sprayed with steam, and start timing from the spraying. After 1-2 minutes, the pressure cooker leaves the heat source and cools naturally to room temperature. Remove the slices, rinse with distilled water, and rinse twice with PBS (0.01 M pH 7.4) for 3 minutes each time.2.
