细胞发生凋亡时, 会激活一些DNA内切酶,这些内切酶会切断核小体间的基因组DNA,产生180 bp-200 bp的 DNA 片段,表现为琼脂糖凝胶电泳中呈现的特异的梯状Ladder图谱。基因组DNA双链或单链断裂时会出现产生大量的粘性3'-OH末端,可在脱氧核糖核苷酸末端转移酶(TdT)的催化作用下,与生物素(Biotin)-dUTP结合,从而通过光学显微镜直接进行凋亡细胞的检测,这类方法称为脱氧核糖核苷酸末端转移酶介导的缺口末端标记法(Terminal -deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling, TUNEL)。由于正常的或正在增殖的细胞几乎没有DNA的断裂,因而没有3'-OH形成,很少能够被染色。Tunel法可以对完整的单个凋亡细胞核或凋亡小体进行原位染色,能准确地反应细胞凋亡典型的生物化学和形态特征,可检测出极少量的凋亡细胞,因而在细胞凋亡的研究中广泛采用。 本试剂盒应用范围广,可用于检测冷冻或石蜡切片中的细胞凋亡情况,也可检测培养的贴壁细胞或悬浮细胞的凋亡情况。可选择性的检测凋亡细胞,而非坏死细胞或因辐照和药物治疗而造成的 DNA 链断裂的细胞。

应用范围:
晚期凋亡检测、TUNEL Kit
When cell apoptosis occurs, some DNA endonucleases will be activated. These endonucleases will cut off genomic DNA between nucleosomes and generate 180 bp to 200 bp DNA fragments, which is shown as a specific ladder map in agarose gel electrophoresis. When genomic DNA undergoes double or single strand breaks, a large number of sticky 3 '- OH terminals are produced, which can bind to biotin dUTP under the catalytic action of deoxyribonucleotide terminal transferase (TdT), and directly detect apoptotic cells through optical microscopy. This method is called terminal deoxyribonucleotide terminal transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL). Due to the almost absence of DNA breakage in normal or proliferating cells, there is no formation of 3 '- OH and it is rarely stained. The Tunel method can perform in situ staining on intact individual apoptotic nuclei or bodies, accurately reflecting the typical biochemical and morphological characteristics of cell apoptosis, and can detect a very small number of apoptotic cells. Therefore, it is widely used in the study of cell apoptosis. This reagent kit has a wide range of applications and can be used to detect cell apoptosis in frozen or paraffin sections, as well as in cultured adherent or suspended cells. Selective detection of apoptotic cells, rather than necrotic cells or cells with DNA strand breaks caused by irradiation and drug therapy.

Experimental steps
1. Sample preparation:
(1) For adherent cells or cell smears
a. Clean once with PBS.
Note: If you are concerned that the cells on the cell smear may not adhere firmly, you can dry the sample to make the cells adhere more firmly.
b. Fixed: Add an appropriate amount of 4% paraformaldehyde (prepared with PBS) and fix at room temperature for 30 minutes. Clean twice with PBS.
c. Translucency: Add an appropriate amount of 0.2% Triton X -100 (prepared with PBS) and let it penetrate at room temperature for 20 minutes. Clean twice with PBS.
d. Closed: Add 100 to each hole μ Approximately 0.3% H2O2 solution (freshly prepared with PBS) was prepared and allowed to fully cover the cells. The cells were sealed at room temperature in dark for 30 minutes to inactivate endogenous catalase. Subsequently, the cells were washed twice with PBS.
e. Step 2: TUNEL reaction.
(2) For suspended cells or cell suspensions
a. Collect cells (3-5 x 106 cells), centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, and wash twice with PBS.
b. Fixation: Add an appropriate amount of 4% paraformaldehyde (prepared with PBS) and resuspend the cells thoroughly. Fix at 4 ℃ for 30 minutes. Centrifuge at 2000 rpm for 5 minutes and clean twice with PBS.
c. Translucency: Add an appropriate amount of 0.2% Triton X -100 (prepared with PBS) and let it penetrate at room temperature for 20 minutes. Centrifuge at 2000 rpm for 5 minutes and clean twice with PBS.
d. Closed: Add 100 to each hole μ A 0.3% H2O2 solution (freshly prepared with PBS) of about L was gently blown and aspirated to resuspend the cells. The cells were closed at room temperature in the dark for 30 minutes to inactivate endogenous catalase, and then washed twice with PBS.
e. Step 2: TUNEL reaction.
(3) Paraffin tissue sectioning
a. Dewaxing and hydration: Place the sliced samples sequentially in xylene I (10 min) → xylene II (10 min) → 100% ethanol I (5 min) → 100% ethanol II (5 min) → 95% ethanol (5 min) → 90% ethanol (5 min) → 80% ethanol (5 min) → 70% ethanol (5 min) → ddH2O rinse for 5 min, rinse twice.
Note: Xylene is toxic and volatile. Please perform this operation in a fume hood.
b. Use filter paper to dry the liquid around the sliced sample, and circle the sample contour with an immunohistochemical pen for downstream transparency and labeling.
Note: If it is found that the contour circle of immunohistochemistry strokes is damaged in subsequent experimental operations, it needs to be redrawn in a timely manner.
c. Transparency: Dilute 2 mg/mL of Protein K solution with PBS in a ratio of 1:100 to a final concentration of 20 µ g/mL. Add 100 µ L dropwise to each sample to cover all sample areas. Incubate at 20-37 ℃ for 20 minutes.
Note: ProteinaseK can penetrate the cell membrane and nuclear membrane, allowing subsequent staining reagents to fully enter the nucleus for reaction and improve labeling efficiency. An excessively long incubation time increases the risk of tissue slices falling off the carrier film during subsequent washing steps, while a too short incubation time may result in insufficient permeability treatment and affect labeling efficiency. To obtain better results, the concentration, incubation time, and temperature of Protein K need to be optimized according to different types of tissue samples.
d. Wash the slices with PBS twice for 5 minutes each time.
Note: Protein K must be washed thoroughly in this step, otherwise it will seriously interfere with subsequent labeling reactions.
e. Sealing: Add an appropriate amount of 0.3% H2O2 solution (PBS freshly prepared) and incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes to inactivate endogenous catalase in the slices.
f. Wash the slices with PBS twice, each time for 5 minutes. Use filter paper to remove excess liquid, and place the processed sample in a wet box to keep it moist.
g. Step 2: TUNEL reaction.
(4) Frozen tissue sections
a. Fixation: Take out frozen sections and warm them back to room temperature. Add an appropriate amount of 4% paraformaldehyde (prepared with PBS) and fix at room temperature for 30 minutes. Rinse twice with PBS for 10 minutes each time. Note: If you are concerned that formaldehyde cleaning may not be clean enough, it may affect the final dyeing effect. After formaldehyde fixation is completed, an appropriate amount of 2 mg/mL glycine can be added and washed for 10 minutes to neutralize the residual fixing solution, and then PBS cleaning can be carried out.
b. Use filter paper to dry the liquid around the sliced sample, and circle the sample contour with an immunohistochemical pen for downstream transparency and labeling.
Note: If it is found that the contour circle of immunohistochemistry strokes is damaged in subsequent experimental operations, it needs to be redrawn in a timely manner.
c. Transparency: Dilute 2 mg/mL of Protein K solution with PBS in a ratio of 1:100 to a final concentration of 20 µ g/mL. Add 100 µ L dropwise to each sample to cover all sample areas. Incubate at 20-37 ℃ for 20 minutes.
Note: ProteinaseK can penetrate the cell membrane and nuclear membrane, allowing subsequent staining reagents to fully enter the nucleus for reaction and improve labeling efficiency. An excessively long incubation time increases the risk of tissue slices falling off the carrier film during subsequent washing steps, while a too short incubation time may result in insufficient permeability treatment and affect labeling efficiency. To obtain better results, the concentration, incubation time, and temperature of Protein K need to be optimized according to different types of tissue samples.
d. Wash the slices with PBS twice for 5 minutes each time.
Note: Protein K must be washed thoroughly in this step, otherwise it will seriously interfere with subsequent labeling reactions.
e. Sealing: Add an appropriate amount of 0.3% H2O2 solution (PBS freshly prepared) and incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes to inactivate endogenous catalase in the slices.
f. Rinse the slices with PBS twice, each time for 5 minutes. Use filter paper to remove excess liquid, and place the processed slices in a wet box to keep them moist.
g. Step 2: TUNEL reaction.
(5) Positive treatment (only the positive control is subjected to this step, and other samples are directly subjected to the TUNEL reaction step)
a. Dilute 10 x DNase I Buffer with ddH2O in a ratio of 1:10 to 1 x DNase I Buffer for later use.
b. Drip 100 µ L of 1xDNase I Buffer onto the processed sample, covering all sample areas, and equilibrate at room temperature for 5 minutes.
c. Dilute DNase I (2 U) with 1 x DNase I Buffer at a ratio of 1:100/ μ L) A working solution with a final concentration of 20 U/mL.
d. Discard the buffer and add 100 μ Incubate DNase I working solution with a concentration of 20 U/mL at room temperature for 10 minutes.
