Apoptosis and Autophagy Kits

57 products

Apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms. It is a highly regulated and controlled process that occurs normally during development and aging as a homeostatic mechanism to maintain cell populations.

Autophagy plays a critical role in maintaining homeostasis by preventing the accumulation of damaged organelles by disassembling unnecessary or dysfunctional cells and cellular components. Autophagy occurs at low levels in the cell under normal conditions and can be rapidly upregulated during times of starvation or stress.

ICT offers a full line of products to detect apoptosis, including FLICA, FLIVO, Annexin kits and more; our Autophagy Assay - Red Fluorescent enables researchers to detect and monitor the in vitro development of autophagy in living cells.

Figure 1. Using FAM-FLICA®, non-apoptotic cells (unstained, left of histogram) can easily be distinguished from apoptotic cells exhibiting green fluorescence (right of histogram). Jurkat cells were either treated with DMSO as control (A), or 1 µM staurosporine (B) to induce apoptosis. Cells were stained with FAM-FLICA® and analyzed using a flow cytometer in FL-1. Only 7% of non-induced cells (A, right) are apoptotic compared with 96.5% of the induced cells (B, right). (ICT 226:17-19.)

Figure 2. Using 7-AAD, live cells (unstained, left side of each histogram) can easily be distinguished from dead/membrane compromised cells exhibiting red fluorescence (right side of each histogram). Jurkat cells were either untreated (A), or treated with 90% ethanol for 60 seconds, then stained with 7-AAD, and analyzed using a flow cytometer in FL-3. Only 4% of untreated cells (A) are dead compared with 97.6% of the treated cells (B). Data courtesy of Dr. Kristi Strandberg, ICT 226:30-31.

Figure 1. Balb/c mice were either inoculated with HSV-1 virus, or given a sham treatment. Seven days later, the mice were injected IV with either DyLight® 747-VAD-FMK (kit 9114), NIR-DyLight® 747 Free Dye (kit 9115), or no reagent. Strong caspase activity was seen in the brain of the HSV-1 infected / NIR-DyLight® 747 Tracer-treated mouse. The liver is the route of clearance for DyLight® Tracers. All mice show fluorescence signal in the tail where reagent is likely to pool after IV injection.
