Product description:

The breakage of chromosomal DNA in apoptosis is a gradual process. Chromosomal DNA is first degraded into large fragments of 50-300 kb under the action of endogenous nucleases, and then about 30% of chromosomal DNA is under the action of Ca2+ and Mg2+-dependent endonucleases. They are randomly cut to form 180-200 bp nucleosomal DNA polymer. Therefore, in the late stage of apoptosis, DNA will be degraded into 180-200 bp fragments, and a large number of 3'-OH ends will be exposed on the broken genomic DNA. Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase (TdT) is a template-independent DNA polymerase that can catalyze the binding of deoxynucleotides to the 3'-OH ends of broken DNA molecules. Therefore, TUNEL (TdT mediated dUTP Nick End Labeling) cell apoptosis detection kit can be used to detect the nuclear DNA breakage of tissue cells in the late stage of apoptosis. The principle is that under the action of TdT enzyme, tetramethyl-Rhodamine-dUTP (Tetramethyl-Rhodamine-5-dUTP, TMR-5-dUTP) is incorporated into the 3´-OH end exposed when genomic DNA is broken, so that it can be Detect with a fluorescence microscope or flow cytometer (TMR excitation 520-560 nm, emission 570-620 nm). This kit has a wide range of applications and is suitable for the detection of cell apoptosis in paraffin tissue sections, frozen tissue sections, cell slides, cell smears, etc.

Operation Steps:
I. Sample preparation

A. Paraffin-embedded tissue sections

1. Soak the paraffin tissue section in xylene at room temperature for 5-10 min, repeat 2-3 times; then soak in absolute ethanol for 5 min, repeat twice; finally, use gradient ethanol (85%, 75%, double steam) Water) soak each time once, each time for 5 min;

2. Gently rinse the section with PBS and remove excess liquid around the sample; use a histochemical pen to draw a small circle with a distance of 2-3 mm from the tissue along the outer contour of the tissue to facilitate downstream permeability processing and balance marking operations; During the experiment, do not let the sample dry, and put the processed sample in a humid box to keep the sample moist;

3. Prepare Proteinase K working solution: Dilute Proteinase K (200 µg/mL) stock solution with PBS as the diluent at a ratio of 1:9 to make the final concentration of 20 μg/mL;

4. Add 100 μL of the above-mentioned Proteinase K working solution to each sample to make it all covered, and incubate at 37°C for 20 min;

(Note: Proteinase K treatment is mainly helpful for the permeation of staining reagents in the subsequent steps of tissues and cells. Too long or short incubation time will affect the subsequent labeling efficiency. In order to obtain better results, the incubation time of Proteinase K can be optimized)

5. Infiltrate and clean the sample with PBS solution 3 times, 5 minutes each time (Proteinase K needs to be washed clean, otherwise it will interfere with the subsequent labeling reaction), and place the processed sample in a humid box to keep the sample moist;

6. (Optional step) Remove the excess liquid on the sample, add an appropriate amount of rupture fluid (0.1% Triton X-100 in 0.1% sodium citrate) to the tissue, fully infiltrate the tissue, and treat it at room temperature for 20 minutes; After the rupture treatment is completed, the sample is rinsed with PBS solution 3 times for 5 minutes each time; the treated sample is placed in a humid box to keep the sample moist.

5. Prepare Proteinase K working solution: Dilute Proteinase K (200 µg/mL) stock solution with PBS as the diluent at a ratio of 1:9 to make the final concentration of 20 μg/mL;

6. Add 100 μL of the above-mentioned Proteinase K working solution dropwise to each sample so that it is completely covered, and incubate at room temperature for 10 min;

(Note: Proteinase K treatment mainly helps the tissues and cells to permeate the staining reagents in the subsequent steps. If the incubation time is too long or too short, it will affect the subsequent labeling efficiency. If no better results are obtained, the incubation time of Proteinase K may need to be optimized)

7. Rinse the sample 2-3 times with PBS solution to remove excess liquid (Proteinase K needs to be washed clean, otherwise it will interfere with the subsequent labeling reaction), and place the processed sample in a humid box to keep the sample moist;
