  • Product overview

    Abcam's Annexin V-Cy3 Apoptosis Detection Kit is based on the observation that soon after initiating apoptosis, cells translocate the membrane phosphatidyl-serine (PS) from the inner face of the plasma membrane to the cell surface. Once on the cell surface, PS can be easily detected by staining with a fluorescent conjugate of Annexin V, a protein that has a high affinity for PS. The one-step staining procedure takes only 10 minutes. Detection can be analyzed by flow cytometry or by fluorescence microscopy.

    I would like to know if this kit can be used with paraffin-embedded (IHC-P) or frozen (IHC-Fr) tissues.

    Thank you for contacting us. This kit can only be used with fresh cells and tissue samples. Any process that leads to membrane damage like fixation and/or freeze-thaw cycles makes the sample incompatible with this kit. So unfortunately it cannot be us...

    I would like to use this kit in IHC on mouse brain. Is it compatible for these purposes?

    Thank you for your enquiry. Annexin V assay can only be used with fresh tissue sample. Simply incubate annexin V with the tissue piece, then visualize it using confocal microscopy. Frozen or fixed tissue are not suitable for the assay. For frozen or...
