The TUNEL Apoptosis Assay Kit (Orange)
The TUNEL Apoptosis Assay Kit (Orange) is a laboratory tool used to detect apoptotic cells, a process where cells undergo programmed cell death. This specific kit utilizes an orange fluorescent marker to label DNA fragments generated during apoptosis, allowing researchers to visualize and quantify apoptotic cells under a fluorescence microscope or flow cytometer.
Applications
Cell Death Studies
The kit is widely used to study apoptosis in various cell types and experimental conditions. It enables researchers to quantify apoptotic cells and assess the effects of different treatments or genetic manipulations on cell death pathways.
Developmental Biology
The assay is used to study apoptosis during embryonic development and tissue remodeling processes. It helps in elucidating the role of programmed cell death in morphogenesis, organogenesis, and homeostasis.
Inflammation and Immunity
Researchers use the assay to investigate apoptosis in immune cells and its role in immune responses, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases. It helps in understanding the regulation of immune cell death and its implications for immune function.
Features
Multiplexing Capability
The kit can be easily combined with other staining methods or molecular markers to facilitate multiplexing experiments, enabling researchers to study apoptosis in conjunction with other cellular processes or biomolecules.
Versatility
The kit is compatible with various sample types, including cultured cells, tissue sections, and whole organisms, allowing for versatile applications across different research areas.
Reliable Results
It offers reliable and reproducible results, ensuring confidence in data interpretation and analysis, which is crucial for advancing research in apoptosis-related fields.
