.2) Wash cells in PBS by gentle shaking or pipetting up and down.
3) Resuspend cells in 200ul pre-diluted binding buffer, adjusting to a cell density of 2-5 x 105 cells/ml
4) Add 5ul Annexin V:Biotin to 195ul of the cell suspension prepared in step 3
5) Mix and incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
6) Wash cells twice in 190ul of pre-diluted binding buffer.
7) Resuspend cells in 190ul pre-diluted binding buffer.
8) Add streptavidin:FITC conjugate.
9) Mix and incubate for 30 minutes in the dark, at room temperature.
10) Wash cells in 200ul pre-diluted binding buffer.
11) Resuspend cells in 190ul pre-diluted binding buffer.
12) Add 10ul of the Propidium Iodide solution.
13) Analyse by flow cytometry.
The flow cytometer is preferably set such that the Mean Fluorescence Intensity of the Annexin V negative population is between 1 and 10. Optimal parameter settings can be found using a positive control. For a positive control, incubate the cells with 3% formaldehyde in buffer during 30 minutes on ice. Wash away the formaldehyde and suspend the cells in cold binding buffer at 2-5 x 105 cells/ml. Proceed with step 2 as described above.

HL-60 (a) and Jurkat (b) cells (1 x 105?cells/mL) were first treated with 5?mM N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), 50?μM butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), or 40?μM alpha-tocopherol (VitE) or untreated, followed by treatment with 0.1% DMSO (CTL), 2.5?μM ATO, and/or 50?μg/mL CMEMM as indicated for 24?h. Quantitative percentages of apoptotic cells of ATO/CMEMM-treated cells were measured by flow cytometry.

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the annexin family of calcium-dependent phospholipid binding proteins some of which have been implicated in membrane-related events along exocytotic and endocytotic pathways. Annexin 5 is a phospholipase A2 and protein kinase C inhibitory protein with calcium channel activity and a potential role in cellular signal transduction, inflammation, growth and differentiation. Annexin 5 has also been described as placental anticoagulant protein I, vascular anticoagulant-alpha, endonexin II, lipocortin V, placental protein 4 and anchorin CII. The gene spans 29 kb containing 13 exons, and encodes a single transcript of approximately 1.6 kb and a protein product with a molecular weight of about 35 kDa. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
This protein is an anticoagulant protein that acts as an indirect inhibitor of the thromboplastin-specific complex, which is involved in the blood coagulation cascade.

Product Notes
The ANXA5 anxa5 (Catalog #AAA224962) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's ANNEXIN V can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ANXA5 anxa5 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "ANNEXIN V, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
