Annexin V | AAT Bioquest

Annexin V-iFluor® 680 conjugate

Annexin V-iFluor® 680 Conjugate is a far-red fluorescent probe for detecting phosphatidylserine exposure on apoptotic cells using flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy.

Fluorescence Detection: Excitation at 681 nm and emission at 705 nm.
Apoptosis Detection: Detects phosphatidylserine exposure during early-stage apoptosis.
Calcium-Dependent Binding: Annexin V binds exposed phosphatidylserine in the presence of calcium.
Instrument Compatibility: Supports 633/640 nm laser and Cy5 filter sets.
Multiplex Compatibility: Compatible with dead-cell stains for distinguishing apoptotic and membrane-compromised cells.

The detection of binding activity of Annexin V-iFluor® 680 conjugate to phosphatidylserine in Jurkat cells. Jurkat cells were treated without (Green) or with 1 μM staurosporine (Red) at 37 ºC for 4 hours and then labeled with Annexin V-iFluor® 680 conjugate for 30 minutes. Fluorescence intensity was measured using an ACEA NovoCyte flow cytometer in the APC channel.

Overview

Annexins are a family of proteins that bind to phospholipid membranes in the presence of calcium. Annexin V is a valuable tool for studying cell apoptosis. It is used as a probe to detect cells which have expressed phosphatidylserine on the cell surface, a feature found in apoptosis as well as other forms of cell death. There are a variety of parameters that can be used for monitoring cell viability. Annexin V-dye conjugates are widely used to monitor cell apoptosis through measuring the translocation of phosphatidylserine (PS). In apoptosis, PS is transferred to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane. The appearance of phosphatidylserine on the cell surface is a universal indicator of the initial/intermediate stages of cell apoptosis and can be detected before morphological changes can be observed. This fluorescent Annexin V conjugate has spectral properties similar to Alexa Fluor® 680 (Alexa Fluor® 680 is the trademark of Invitrogen) and Cy5.5® (Cy5.5® is the trademark of GE Healthcare).
