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).
