In normal cells, PS is distributed exclusively on the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane lipid bilayer, whereas in early apoptosis, membrane PS is flipped from the inner to the outer leaflet of the lipid membrane and becomes exposed on the outer surface of the cell membrane. Annexin V is a Ca²⁺-dependent phospholipid-binding protein with a molecular weight of 35–36 kDa. Owing to its high affinity for phosphatidylserine, it binds to the plasma membrane of early apoptotic cells through the phosphatidylserine exposed on the outer cell surface. Annexin V is therefore widely recognized as one of the most sensitive markers for detecting early apoptosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnnexin V labeled with AbBy Fluor® 647 can be used as a probe to detect the occurrence of apoptosis by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. Propidium iodide (PI) is a nucleic acid dye that cannot penetrate the intact plasma membrane of normal or early apoptotic cells; however, in mid-to-late apoptotic and necrotic cells, PI can penetrate the cell membrane and stain the nucleus red. Double staining with Annexin V and PI therefore allows cells at different stages of apoptosis to be distinguished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width:24%;vertical-align:top;padding:12px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKit Components\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"vertical-align:top;padding:12px\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003e20T\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003e50T\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003e100T\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003eAnnexin V-AbBy Fluor® 647\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003e100 µl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003e250 µl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003e500 µl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003e4 °C, dark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003ePropidium Iodide, PI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003e200 µl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003e500 µl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003e1000 µl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003e4 °C, dark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003eBinding Buffer (4×)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003e4 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003e10 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003e20 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #d8d8d8\"\u003e4 °C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width:24%;vertical-align:top;padding:12px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials and Equipment Required (not provided)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"vertical-align:top;padding:12px\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.

The Annexin V assay is suitable for cells grown in suspension, such as lymphocytes. For adherent cells, trypsin and other digestive treatments damage the cell membrane and cause a high rate of false positives, while scraping with a cell scraper causes the cells to clump together and interferes with detection; the trypsin-detached cells may be kept in PBS containing 2% BSA to prevent further damage. Although some laboratories in China and abroad currently use this method to detect adherent cells, we do not recommend it, because its reproducibility is poor and great care is required in handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8.
