Induce apoptosis in cells by desired method (e.g. 20μM Camptothecin treated, 6+ hours, 37°C) Jurkat cells. Include a control sample of untreated cells. 2. Isolate cells to a single-cell suspension. (If necessary use a protease and/or pipette trituration to break apart the clusters) 3. Wash cells twice in Cell Staining Buffer (2.5mL volume, 300 x g, 5 minutes). 4. Re-suspend pellet to 1 x 10 6 cells/ml in Annexin V Binding Buffer (verify counts with the Moxi Z or Moxi Flow instruments). 5. For each sample, prepare two microcentrifuge tubes. Note: the tubes can be processed concurrently to reduce overall processing time. Tube 1 (PE- Annexin V measurement): a. Add 100µl of cells b. Add 10 μl of PE-Annexin V conjugate. Notes: Required PE-Annexin V concentration may vary by PE-Annexin manufacturer. We recommend 0.3 – 0.6µg/ml final PE – Annexin V concentration. c. Gently vortex the cells and incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature (25°C), protected from light. d. Wash cells twice (1mL volume, 300 x g, 5 minutes). with Annexin V Binding Buffer (critical, using a low Ca 2+ or Ca 2+ -free buffer will disrupt Annexin binding) e. Re-suspend pellet in 400µL of Annexin V Binding Buffer f. Add 8 uL of Moxi Cyte Flow Reagent. Vortex to mix. g. Run on Moxi Flow using the “Apoptosis (Annexin V-PE)” app within 2 hours of staining, protect from light. Tube 2 (PI/Viability measurement): a. Add 60µL of cell suspension to 240µL of Moxi Cyte Viability Kit (5x dilution) b. Gently vortex the cells and incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature (25°C), protected from light. c. Run on Moxi Flow using the “Viability Count (PI)” app within 2 hours of staining, protect from light. 6. As all membrane-permeable (dead) cells will stain positive for PE-Annexin V, the early- stage apoptosis percentage can be calculated as the PE-Annexin V positive percentage (from the first test) minus the PI positive percentage (from the second test).
