Apoptosis Detection Kits

ApopTag® Fluorescent in situ Detection Kits
TUNEL kit for use with fluorescent-light microscopes

ApopTag® Fluorescent in situ Detection Kits detect apoptotic cells by direct fluorescent detection of digoxigenin-labelled genomic DNA. ApopTag® Fluorescein Kit and ApopTag® Red Kits employ Fluorescein and sulforhodamine tagged antidigoxigenin antibodies, respectively. The ApopTag® Fluorescein Plus kit includes positive control slides to aid identification of apoptotic cells.

Principles of the procedure: Apoptotic cells are detected in situ by specific end labeling and detection of the DNA fragments produced by the apoptotic process. Residues of digoxigeninnucleotide
are catalytically added to the DNA by terminal
deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase (TdT). The anti-digoxigenin antibody fragment carries a fluorescein molecule to the reaction site. The localized signal generated allows for the sensitive and specific staining of the very high concentration of 3’-OH
ends that are localized in apoptotic bodies.

Kit Components: Equilibration Buffer, Reaction Buffer, TdT Enzyme, Stop/Wash Buffer, Blocking Solution, Anti-Digoxigenin-Peroxidase
