| 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 distribution 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).We offer recombinant Annexin V conjugated to a numerous fluorophores, as well as an Annexin V biotin conjugate which can be detected with fluorophore-labeled streptavidin. By binding to PS, fluorophores labeled Annexin V can be used to detect and quantify apoptotic cells via flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy. The excitation and emission maxima of the Annexin V conjugates are summarized in the following table.

C3 is central to the activation of all three pathways of complement activation (Law, S.K.A. and Reid, K.B.M. (1995)). Initiation of each pathway generates proteolytic enzyme complexes (C3 convertases) which are bound to the target surface. These enzymes cleave a peptide bond in C3 releasing the anaphylatoxin C3a and activating C3b. For a brief time (~60 µs) this nascent C3b is capable of reacting with and covalently coupling to hydroxyl groups on the target surface. Carbohydrates are the favored target, but protein hydroxyls and amino groups also react. This process of tagging the target surface with C3b is called opsonization. The reactive site in nascent C3b is a thioester (Tack B.J., et al. (1980); Pangburn M.K. and MüllerEberhard H.J. (1980)) and C3b is linked to the target through a covalent ester bond (an amide bond is formed if C3b is attached to amino groups). Most of the C3 activated during complement activation never attaches to the surface because its thioester reacts with water forming fluid phase C3b which is rapidly inactivated by factors H and I forming iC3b. Surface-bound C3b is necessary in all three pathways for efficient activation of C5 and formation of C5b-9 complexes that lyse the target cell membrane. Surface-bound C3b and its breakdown products iC3b and C3d are recognized by numerous receptors on lymphoid and phagocytic cells which use the C3b ligand to stimulate antigen presentation to cells of the adaptive immune system. The end result is an expansion of target-specific B-cell and T-cell populations.Physical Characteristics & StructureCynomolgus monkey C3 is an uncharacterized protein. The calculated molecular weight based on its amino acid sequence is 184,926 daltons similar to that of human C3 (185,000 daltons). Like human C3, cyno C3 is composed of two disulfide-linked chains. Analysis of purified cyno C3 by SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under non-reduced conditions shows the mobility of cyno C3 to be similar to that of human C3. Under reduced conditions, the migration of the alpha chain of cyno C3 is comparable to that of human C3 alpha chain (110,000 daltons) while the beta chain migrates slightly ahead of the human C3 beta chain (75,000daltons).The extinction coefficient of cyno C3 is calculated from its amino acid sequence using ProtParam and assumes all pairs of Cys residues form cystines (i.e. a pair of cystine molecules are joined by a disulfide bond). The theoretical pI value for cyno monkey C3 is 6.03. Employing immunoturbidimetric method the serum concentration of cyno C3 has been reported to be 1.27 mg/ml in males and 1.1 mg/ml in female monkeys (Park H-K et al., (2016)). FunctionThe biological functions of C3 are described above in the General Description and Physical Characteristics sections.GeneticsCynomolgus monkey C3 chromosome location 19.

Product Introduction2× GoldStar Probe Mixture (UNG) is a premixed system dedicated to real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR by probe method (TaqMan, Molecular Beacon, etc.), with a concentration of 2×, containing GoldStar Taq DNA polymerase, PCR Buffer, dNTPs (dTTP is all replaced by dUTP), UNG enzyme and Mg2+, which is easy and convenient to operate. It is mainly used for the detection of genomic DNA target sequences and cDNA target sequences after RNA reverse transcription, such as gene expression analysis, copy number analysis and SNP genotype analysis. This product utilizes the dUTP-UNG anti-pollution system, which adds dUTP during the preparation of the PCR reaction system, thus forming an amplification product containing dU bases. This product can be eliminated by the UNG enzyme in the PCR system before the next PCR reaction. This effectively removes residual contamination of the PCR product and greatly reduces false positives due to contamination of the amplification product.UNG enzyme can be inactivated at the pre-denaturation step in the PCR cycle, and therefore will not affect the formation of new PCR products containing dU bases. The GoldStar Taq DNA Polymerase contained in this product is a chemically modified, new high-efficiency hot-start enzyme, which has no polymerase activity at room temperature, effectively avoiding non-specific amplification due to non-specific binding of primers and templates or primer dimerization at room temperature, and the activation of the enzyme must be incubated at 95°C for 10 minutes. The unique combination of PCR buffer system and hot-start enzyme significantly improves the amplification efficiency of PCR with stronger fluorescent signal and higher sensitivity to detect single-copy templates. A wider linear range and more accurate quantification of the target gene can be obtained by using this product.ROX dye is used to correct the fluorescence signal error generated between wells of a quantitative PCR instrument, and is generally used in Real Time PCR amplifiers from ABI, Stratagene, and other companies. The excitation optics vary from instrument to instrument, so the concentration of ROX dye must be matched to the corresponding fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument.Instruments that do not require ROX calibration (G670150):Roche LightCycler 480, Roche LightCyler 96, Bio-rad iCyler iQ, iQ5, CFX96 and others.Instruments requiring Low ROX calibration(G665780):ABI Prism7500/7500 Fast, QuantStudio®3 System, QuantStudio®5 System, QuantStudio®6 Flex System, QuantStudio®7 Flex System, ViiA 7 system.

This product can be stored for long term at -20℃, protected from light. If frequent use is required within a short period of time, it can be stored at 2-8℃.UsageThe following examples are conventional PCR reaction systems and reaction conditions, which should be improved and optimized according to the template, primer structure and target fragment size in actual operation.1.PCR reaction systemReagents50 µl Reaction systemfinal concentration2×GoldStar Probe Mixture（UNG）25 µl1×Forward Primer，10 µM1 µl0.2 µM¹⁾Reverse Primer，10 µM1 µl0.2 µM¹⁾Probe，10 µM1 µl0.2 µM²⁾Template DNA2 µl³⁾ 50×Low ROX or High ROX（optional）⁴⁾1 µl1×ddH₂Oup to 50 µlNote: 1) Usually, better results can be obtained with a primer concentration of 0.2 µM, and 0.1-1.0 µM can be used as a reference for setting the range.(2) The concentration of the probe used is related to the fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument used, the type of probe, and the type of fluorescent labeling substance, please refer to the instrument manual or the specific requirements for the use of each fluorescent probe for the adjustment of the concentration in actual use.(3) Usually the amount of DNA template is 10-100ng genomic DNA or 1-10ng cDNA as a reference. Since the templates of different species contain different copy numbers of target genes, the templates can be subjected to gradient dilution to determine the optimal amount of template to be used.(4) The excitation optical system varies from instrument to instrument, choose to add 50×Low ROX or 50×High ROX according to the instrument using fluorescence quantification.2.PCR reaction programCaution!
