Easily distinguish cells undergoing early and late apoptosis with eBioscience and Annexin V Apoptosis Detection kits for flow cytometry analysis. These kits utilize viability dye-conjugated annexin V to label phosphatidylserine (PS), an early marker of apoptosis, on the extracellular membrane. In late-stage apoptosis, as cell integrity is lost, both annexin V and the viability dye traverse and bind PS on the interior of the plasma membrane.
In early-stage apoptosis, the plasma membrane excludes viability dyes such as propidium iodide (PI), 7-AAD, or fixable viability dyes such as eFluor 450. 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).
Current viability stains available with the eBioscience Annexin V Apoptosis Detection kits include FITC, eFluor 450, allophycocyanin (APC), phycoerythrin (PE), PE-cyanine7, and biotin.
