| Description | Background information 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 Background information 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.Cat.No.Ex/Em (nm)Formatrp226056NABiotinrp225999401/422AF405rp226057490/525AF488rp226060650/668AF647rp226002681/704AF680rp226003752/776AF750rp226053498/517FITCrp226004410/455Pacific Bluerp226006647/665Cy5rp226054650/660APCrp226055565/575PErp226058565/670PE-Cy5rp226059565/774PE-Cy7Precautions1. Please try to avoid light when using to slow down the quenching of fluorescence.2. Propidium Iodide 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 use1. Dilute 10X Binding Buffer (A1372288) 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 amounts of cells in Annexin V Binding Buffer at a concentration of 1.0-5.0 x 106 cells/mL.3. Add 5 µL of Annexin V-AF405 to 100 µL of the cell suspension. Stain with a viability dye, such as PI (P1373641; P1372285), 7-AAD (A1372406), or DAPI (D1372407) dyes, if desired.4. Gently vortex the cells and incubate for 10 min at RT (25°C) in the dark.5. Add 100 µL of 1X Binding Buffer to each assay. Analyze by flow cytometry within 1 hr...

It is a disulfide-linked heterodimer composed of the 40 kD cytokine receptor like subunit and a 35 kD subunit. This cytokine is expressed by activated macrophages that serve as an essential inducer of Th1 cells development. IL12 has been found to be important for sustaining a sufficient number of memory/effector Th1 cells to mediate long-term protection to an intracellular pathogen.

(1989) from the culture supernatant of embryonic lung fibroblasts, which is a member of the FGF family, namely FGF-7. KGF is an effective epithelial-specific growth factor secreted by mesenchymal cells and distributed in epithelial cells. Its mitotic activity is mainly manifested in keratinocytes, which can specifically promote the proliferation, migration and differentiation of epithelial cells. It is closely related to organ development, wound repair, tumor genesis and immune reconstruction.Activity definition: The ED50 value is less than 1.0 ng/ml, that is, the corresponding activity unit is greater than or equal to 1 x 10*6 units/mg, as determined by the proliferation method of cultured MCF-7 cells...
