Featured DDDDK tag antibodies

DDDDK tag is a polypeptide protein tag that can be added to a protein using recombinant DNA technology, which allows elution under non-denaturing conditions. The DDDDK tag is likely to be located on the surface of a fusion protein because of its hydrophilic nature, and therefore is more likely to be accessible to antibodies. It not only has been used for studying proteins in living cells and for protein purifcation by affinity chromatography, but also has been used in the isolation of protein complexes with multiple subunits.


Abbkine offers a full range of anti-DDDDK tag antibodies for your choice. The antibodies not only include highly specific monoclonal and polyclonal DDDDK tag antibodies, but also contain AbFluor™ (350, 405, 488, 555, 594, 647, 680) dyes, Cy3, Cy5, FITC, agarose, magnetic beads, HRP conjugated anti-DDDDK tag antibodies.

AbFluor™ 488 Annexin V Apoptosis Detection Kit from Abbkine

Annexin V (or Annexin A5) is a member of the annexin family of intracellular proteins that binds to phosphatidylserine (PS) in a calcium-dependent manner. PS is normally only found on the intracellular leaflet of the plasma membrane in healthy cells, but during early apoptosis, membrane asymmetry is lost and PS translocates to the external leaflet.

Fluorochrome-labeled Annexin V can then be used to specifically target and identify apoptotic cells, which can be detected by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.



Propidium iodide (PI) is a fluorescent nucleus dye, impermeant to live cells and early apoptotic cells, but stains late apoptotic, necrotic or dead cells with red fluorescence, binding tightly to the nucleic acids in the cell.

Once binding with DNA, the excitation and emission light of PI-DNA complex is 535 nm and 615 nm.



Abbkine AbFluor™ 488 Annexin V Apoptosis Detection Kit contains Annexin V labeled with Abbkine proprietary green fluorescent dye AbFluor™ 488, which allows the identification and quantitation of apoptotic cells by flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy. Simultaneous staining of cells with AbFluor™ 488 and propidium iodide (PI) allows the discrimination of intact cells, early apoptotic and late apoptotic or necrotic cells.

[caption id="attachment_84161" align="aligncenter" width="635"] Hela cells were induced with camptothecin for 24 hours and stained with Annexin V- AbFluor™ 488 Apoptosis Detection Kit. The cell is a late stage apoptotic/necrotic cell with both Annexin V- AbFluor™ 488 and PI staining (green membrane with red fragmented nucleus).[/caption]

 

Abbkine AbFluor™ 488 dye is better than FITC, Alexa Fluor 488, Dylight 488 as it is brighter, not affected by pH, and has much better photostability.

FAQ

1. Can Abbkine Annexin V Apoptosis Detection Kit detect apoptosis in animals other than humans?

Sure. Because annexin v is compatible with phosphatidylserine ( PS ), but PS has no difference among different species.

2. What’s the effect of pancreatin on adherent cells?

Pancreatin has some damage to the cell membrane. But when digested with low concentration pancreatin, the adherent cells are gently blown 2 to 3 times, centrifuged at 4 , 300 g, and 5 min, the damage caused by pancreatin can be controlled within 5 %. And there is no obvious influence on the experimental results when there is a control group.

3. Why can only use pancreatin without EDTA to digest adherent cells?

Annexin V is a Ca+ dependent protein, so EDTA cannot be added to prevent EDTA from sequestering Ca+, thus affecting annexin V and the results.
