Description
EGFP conjugated Annexin V for detection of apoptosis through fluorescence microscopy or by flow cytometry. The bright and photo-stable reagent for detecting early stages of apoptosis. During apoptosis, phosphatidylserine (PS) is translocated from the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane to the cell surface. Annexin V has a strong, Ca²ᶧ -dependent affinity for PS and therefore serves as a probe for detecting apoptosis. The annexin V-EGFP fusion is brighter and photo-stable, ideal for detecting apoptosis by fluorescence microscopy with a FITC filter or by flow cytometry.

Conjugate
The Green Fluorescent Protein (eGFP) of Annexin V- Reagent can be excited at 488 nanometers with a peak emission at 509 nanometers and is detected in the FL1 detector on the FACSCalibur or FACScan. The LSRII and all of the core's sorter flow cytometers can tell the difference between at the same time/together expressing eGFP and eYFP cells when the proper optical filters and experimental controls exist.
