TUNEL Apoptosis Detection Kit
Description:
TUNEL Apoptosis Detection Kit
Trade Name:
Upstate (Millipore)
Qty/Pk:
1 kit
Product Overview:
For the detection of the endonucleolytic cleavage of chromatin, characteristic of apoptosis.
Background Information:
Most animal cells can self-destruct via an intrinsic program of cell death that may be triggered by extracellular or intracellular signals. Programmed cell death plays an important role in many biological processes such as morphogenesis and negative selection in the immune system. In addition, dysregulation of programmed cell death may contribute to diseases, for example, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and AIDS. Apoptosis is the term for programmed cell death characterized by specific morphologic and biochemical properties. Apoptotic cells typically undergo a series of structural changes: blebbing of the plasma membrane; condensation of the cytoplasm and nuclei; and cellular fragmentation into apoptotic bodies, membrane-bound structures containing condensed cytoplasm, some intact organelles, and nuclear fragments. The most common biochemical property of apoptosis is the endonucleolytic cleavage of chromatin, initially to large fragments of 50-300 kilobase pairs and subsequently to monomers and multimers of 180-200 base pairs.
