Jurkat cells were cultured with and without different concentrations of staurosporine (200 nM up to 2 μM) for different times (from 4 up to 20.5 hours). Cells were then pooled and stained with Annexin V-Biotin followed by Anti-Biotin-APC and PI and analyzed by flow cytometry.

Specifications for Annexin V conjugates

Overview

This product is suitable for the identification and enumeration of dead cells, such as apoptotic or necrotic cells, by flow cytometry.

Detailed product information

Background information

The Annexin V conjugates selectively label apoptotic, necrotic, and dead cells through the specific binding of Annexin V to phosphotidylserine (PS). In most normal, viable eukaryotic cells, the negatively charged phospholipid PS is located in the cytosolic leaflet of the plasma membrane lipid bilayer.

¹

PS redistribution from the inner to the outer leaflet is an early and widespread event during apoptosis.

^1,2

However, in necrosis, PS becomes accessible due to the disruption of membrane integrity.

²

Apart from necrosis and apoptosis, PS also becomes accessible in activated platelets

³

, in certain cell anomalies like sickle cell anemia

⁴

, in erythrocyte senescence

⁵

, upon degranulation of mast cells

⁶

, and in certain stages of B cell differentiation

⁷

. PS exposure by apoptotic cells serves as a trigger for the recognition and removal by macrophages.

^8,9

Annexin V is a 35 kDa phospholipid-binding protein and has a high affinity for PS in the presence of physiological concentrations of calcium (Ca

).
