Sample Type:|Cell culture||Target:|Apoptosis||Excitation/Emission:|Annexin V-Fluorescein – 494nm/521nm|PI – 536nm/617nm||Method of Analysis:|Flow Cytometry||Intended Use:|Bovine Annexin V-Fluorescein Apoptosis BioAssay™ Kit provides a proven method for quickly and easily distinguishing two populations of dying cells from viable cells using recombinant fluorescein-conjugated Bovine Annexin V and Propidium Iodide (PI). These cells will become dually labeled with Annexin V-Fluorescein (green fluorescence) and Propidium Iodide (red fluorescence). Results can be analyzed via flow cytometer.||Test Principle:|Annexin V is a member of a calcium and phospholipid binding family of proteins with vascular anticoagulant activity. Results from in vitro experiments indicate that it may play a role in the inhibition of blood coagulation by competing for phosphatidylserine (PS) binding sites with prothrombin. In healthy cells, PS is usually kept in the inner-leaflet (the cytosolic side) of the cell membrane. When a cell undergoes apoptosis, one of the earliest detectable indicators is the loss of membrane asymmetry. No longer restricted to the cytosolic part of the membrane, PS is translocated to the outer-leaflet and becomes exposed on the surface of the cell.||Bovine Annexin V-Fluorescein Apoptosis BioAssay™ Kit provides a proven method for quickly and easily distinguishing two populations of dying cells from viable cells using recombinant fluorescein-conjugated Bovine Annexin V and Propidium Iodide (PI). Cells with intact cell membranes and surface-exposed PS, a prominent feature of apoptosis, will stain positive for Annexin V-Fluorescein. PI is included in the kit to identify dying, later stage apoptotic cells which have lost plasma membrane integrity. These cells will become dually labeled with Annexin V-Fluorescein and Propidium Iodide (green and red fluorescence). Live non-apoptotic cells with intact plasma membranes will exclude PI and will remain unstained by the Annexin V-Fluorescein probe, assuming no treatment or cell cycle-associated event temporarily exposes the normally internalized, negatively charged PS entity. The BioAssay™ kit also includes a specially formulated, calcium-based binding buffer which is required for Annexin V binding to occur. Analyze results using a flow cytometry.||Kit Components:|Bovine Annexin V-Fluorescein, lyophilized, 1 vial|Annexin Reconstitution Buffer, 1X, 1x1mL, 1 vial|Annexin Binding Buffer, 10X, 1x10mL, 3 bottles|Propidium Iodide, 1x250ug/mL, 1x1mL, 1 vial||Storage and Stability:|Store powder at 4°C liquid at -20°C.
