JC1- Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit ab113850 contains tetraethylbenzimidazolylcarbocyanine iodide (JC-1), a cationic dye that accumulates in energized mitochondria.
At low concentrations (due to low mitochondrial membrane potential), JC-1 is predominantly a monomer that yields green fluorescence with emission of 530±15 nm.
At high concentrations (due to high mitochondrial membrane potential), the dye aggregates yielding a red to orange colored emission (590±17.5 nm).
Therefore a decrease in the aggregate fluorescent count is indicative of depolarization whereas an increase is indicative of hyperpolarization.
The JC-1 staining protocol is very simple:
- wash cells in dilution buffer or PBS
- add JC solution
- incubate for 30 min at 37°C for suspension cells, or 10 min for adherent cells
- wash cells with dilution buffer
- treat cells as desired for experimental plan
- analyze on a fluorescent microplate reader
The aggregate dye can be excited at 535 nm, the monomer and aggregate together at 475 nm.
