TUNEL Apoptosis Detection Kit (Orange Fluorescence) | KTA2011

Product Overwiew:

Abbkine TUNEL Apoptosis Detection Kit is designed to conveniently detecting DNA fragmentation.

Background:

One of the most easily measured features of apoptotic cells is the break-up of the genomic DNA by cellular nucleases. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) is a method for detecting DNA fragmentation by labeling the 3′-hydroxyl termini in the double-strand DNA breaks generated during apoptosis. The TUNEL assay relies on the presence of nicks in the DNA which can be identified by TdT, an enzyme that catalyzes the addition of dUTPs that are labeled with fluorescein.
