Apoptosis is a type of cell death
Apoptosis (αποπτοσισ)
Apo = off, away ‐ptosis = a falling Greek, apoptosis translates to “falling off" of petals from flowers, or leaves from plants or trees.
-A carefully regulated process that is
part of normal development and
homeostasis.
-Dysregulation of apoptosis is
implicated in disease states such as
cancer, autoimmune disease and
degenerative conditions.

TIPS for Annexin V assays
ƒ Calcium and Magnesium are required for annexin V binding to PS; binding is reversible, so divalent cations must be present during the entire assay
ƒ Analysis should be carried out quickly following labeling
ƒ Some cells (e.g. megakarocytes, platelets, some myeloid lineage cells, microvesicles) may have large amounts of PS on their surface
ƒ In advanced apoptotic or necrotic cells, annexin V can label the inner membrane leaflet
ƒ Adherent cells removed by mechanical scraping or trypsin may flip their PS residues independent of apoptosis; careful removal is required

Violet Ratiometric Membrane Asymmetry Probe

F2N12S
ƒ Normal cells exhibit an asymmetry in lipid distribution between the outer and inner cell membranes with phosphatidyl‐serine (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) normally located on the inner leaflet of the cell membrane ƒ During apoptosis PS and PE translocate from the inner to outer leaflet of the cell membrane, changing the surface charge of the outer leaflet. This translocation facilitates recognition and elimination of these cells by macrophages. ƒ The Violet Ratiometric Membrane Asymmetry Probe, F2N12S, is a novel violet excitable dye for the detection of changes in membrane asymmetry by detecting variations in surface charge, and gives two emission bands.

A single time point measurement shows cells in different phases of the
cycle, with distribution in three major phases of the cell cycle.
Under ideal staining conditions, all G1 or G2 cells are expected to be
uniform in staining. However in practice, the cell populations are
represented on frequency histograms with peaks of various widths.

Just what is “click” chemistry?
Click chemistry describes a set of chemical reactions for
use in chemical library synthesis. However the name has
stuck to one conjugation reaction in particular:
Copper catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition

“click” chemistry and cell proliferation
This concept can be applied to the labeling and detection of DNA,
using a thymidine analog containing a terminal alkyne group and
a dye-labeled azide.
