Product Summary for TACS Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit
Why Use the TACS Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit?
Annexin V is a calcium-dependent phospholipid binding protein that can be used to bind Phosphatidylserine(PS) during an early apoptosis event where the PS becomes exposed at the cell surface.
The TACS Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit is supplied with an optimized Binding Buffer and propidium iodide. Propidium iodide may be used on unfixed samples to determine the population of cells that have lost membrane integrity, allowing discrimination between apoptotic and necrotic (or late apoptotic) cells.

Scientific Data Images for TACS Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit
Detection of Apoptotic Dexamethasone-treated Thymocytes by Annexin V Staining.
Thymocytes were left untrated (left) or treated with 100 nM Dexamethasone for 15.5 hours (right) and then stained using Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide provided in the TACS Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit (Catalog # 4830-250-K). The combination of Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide allows for the distinction between early apoptotic cells (Annexin V-FITC positive), late apoptotic and/or necrotic cells (Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide positive), and viable cells (unstained).
