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 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 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.Composition: Composition 20T 50T A. aladdin®640 TUNEL Reaction Buffer 1 mL 2 ×1.25 mL B.

Experimental control group.The experimental group operated normally according to the instructions.Experimental steps1. Sample preparation:(1) For adherent cells or cell smearsa. Clean once with PBS.Note: If you are concerned that the cells on the cell smear may not adhere firmly, you can dry the sample to make the cells adhere more firmly.b.

Firefly Product introduction：Reporter gene detection is an important tool for analyzing the interaction between potential cis elements (such as promoters, enhancers and silencers) and trans acting factors in the flanking region of structural genes in the field of modern molecular biology. Firefly luciferase is widely used in gene regulation and drug screening. Firefly luciferase is a protein with a molecular weight of about 61 KD. In the presence of ATP, magnesium ions and oxygen, it can catalyze the production of oxyluciferin from luciferin. In the process of luciferin oxidation, it will produce a light signal. The optical signal of this kit is a kind of instantaneous light, which needs to be detected immediately after adding the working solution. The half-life of optical signal is about 5 min.Instruction：1.Working fluid configuration ( 1 ) Restore all components to room temperature.

During the operation process, RNase contamination should be avoided to prevent RNA degradation or cross contamination during experiments. It is recommended to perform RNA operations in specialized areas, use specialized instruments and consumables, and have operators wear masks and disposable gloves, and frequently change gloves.2. Disposable plastic containers should be used as much as possible for experiments. If glass containers are used, they should be treated with a 0.1% DEPC (diethyl pyrocarbonate) aqueous solution at 37 ℃ for 12 hours, and sterilized under high pressure at 120 ℃ for 30 minutes before use. Alternatively, glass containers should be sterilized under dry heat at 180 ℃ for 60 minutes before use. The sterile water used in the experiment should be treated with 0.1% DEPC and then subjected to high-pressure sterilization.3. All reagents in this reagent kit should be gently mixed upside down before use, avoiding foaming as much as possible, and used after brief centrifugation. The enzymes involved should be returned to -20 ℃ as soon as possible after use to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.4. This reagent kit must use specific primers, and the selection of primers can be based on specific experiments. The quality of primer design directly affects the results of RT-PCR reactions. When designing primers, factors such as GC content, primer length, primer position, and the secondary structure of PCR products need to be considered. It is recommended to use professional primer design software.Usage:1. Dissolve the RNA template, primers, OneStep RT-PCR Buffer, SuperRT OneStep RT-PCR EnzymeMix, and RNase Free Water and place them on ice for later use.2. Prepare the reaction system according to the following table: Reagent 25 µlReaction system Final concentration 2×SuperRT OneStep Buffer 12.5 µl 1× Forward Primer，10 µM 1 µl 0.4 µM Reverse Primer，10 µM 1 µl 0.4 µM SuperRT OneStep EnzymeMix 0.5 µl / RNA Template X µl 1 pg – 1 µg RNase-Free Water up to 25 µl / Attention: The primer concentration should be between 0.1 and 1.0 as the final concentration µ M serves as a reference for setting the range. In the case of low amplification efficiency, the concentration of primers can be increased; When non-specific reactions occur, the primer concentration can be reduced to optimize the reaction system.3. Vortex and shake well, centrifuge briefly, and collect the solution to the bottom of the tube.4. Preheat the thermal cycler to 45 ℃, place the PCR tube in the thermal cycler, and perform RT-PCR reaction.Reaction conditions: Step Temperature Time / Reverse transcription 45℃ 30 min / PCR pre denaturation 95℃ 2 min Denaturation 94℃ 30 s 30-40 cycles Anneal 55-65℃ 30 s 30-40 cycles Extend 72℃ 30 s 30-40 cycles Finally extended 72℃ 5 min /Attention:1) In general PCR experiments, the annealing temperature is 5 ℃ lower than the melting temperature Tm of the amplification primer, and the annealing time is generally 20-30 seconds. If the ideal amplification efficiency cannot be achieved, the annealing temperature should be appropriately reduced; When non-specific reactions occur, increase the annealing temperature to optimize the reaction conditions.2) The extension time is set based on the size of the amplified fragments, and the DNA Polymerase amplification efficiency contained in this product is 1 kb/30s.3) The number of cycles can be set based on the downstream application of the amplification product. Too few cycles, insufficient amplification; Multiple cycles increase the probability of mismatches and result in severe non-specific backgrounds. Therefore, while ensuring product yield, the number of cycles should be minimized as much as possible.5.
