An Integrative Procedure for Apoptosis Identification and Measurement. Yingyu Cui Lab/Group: National Key Laboratory of Protein Engineering and Plant Genetic Engineering, College of Life Sciences. I have uploaded an integrative procedure through which a relatively satisfactory result can be obtained following a single stage of cell culture and transient cell treatment, then detection with different instruments. This shortens experiment time. - [Read An Integrative Procedure For Apoptosis Identification And Measurement]
Analysis of DNA Fragmentation Using Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Shailaja Kasibhatla et al. This protocol provides a qualitative method for assessing cell death by detecting DNA fragments using agarose gel electrophoresis. One of the classic features of apoptosis is the cleavage of the genomic DNA into oligonucleosomal fragments represented by multiples of 180-200 bp. Visualizing these fragments can aid in characterizing an apoptotic event. May be combined with more quantitative methods. - [Read Analysis of DNA Fragmentation Using Agarose Gel Electrophoresis (Subscription Required)]
Analysis of DNA Fragmentation Using the JAM Assay. By Shailaja Kasibhatla et al., The JAM assay is based on labeling nuclear DNA of cycling cells with [3H]thymidine and harvesting samples on glass fiber filters. Apoptosis will generate DNA fragments small enough to pass through the glass fiber filter, resulting in decreased radioactivity of the particular sample. Cell-mediated cytotoxicity or cell killing mediated by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) can also be measured by this technique. - [Read Analysis Of DNA Fragmentation Using The JAM Assay (Subscription Required)]
A sensitive method for the detection of apoptosis by single laser flow cytometry. Methodology includes: Staining for detection of apoptosis, Direct Staining Procedure, Indirect Staining Procedure, Protocol for the use of actinomycin D (AD) on samples that were stained with 7-AAD for apoptosis and fixed in formaldehyde. - [Read Apoptosis Detection Protocol By Single Laser Flow Cytometry]
Protocol for apoptosis detection using TUNEL protocol. This technique uses the enzyme terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) to label cells that have oligonucleosomal nicks/strand breaks in their DNA. - [Read Apoptosis Detection: TUNEL Protocol]
