General description
Assay kit provides a unique combination of reagents useful for the isolation of a highly enriched mitochondrial fraction from the cytosol. Translocation of cytochrome c from the mitochondrial fraction to the cytosol is monitored by immunoblotting with the cytochrome c antibody provided with the kit.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The Cytochrome c Release Apoptosis Assay Kit provides a unique combination of reagents useful for the isolation of a highly enriched mitochondrial fraction from the cytosol that can be used to detect cytochrome c by Western blotting.
Features and Benefits
Assay Time: 4 h
Preparation Note
• 1X Cytosol Extraction Buffer: Prepare 1X Cytosol Extraction Buffer by adding the 20 ml 5X Cytosol Extraction Buffer to 80 ml diH2O; mix well.• Mitochondria Extraction Buffer Mix: Just prior to performing the assay, prepare enough Mitochondria Extraction Buffer Mix for the number of samples to be assayed; each sample requires 0.1 ml of the mix. To prepare 1 ml Mitochondria Extraction Buffer Mix, add 2 µl 500X Protease Inhibitor Cocktail and 1 µl DTT to 1 ml Mitochondria Extraction Buffer; mix well.• Cytosol Extraction Buffer Mix: Just prior to performing the assay, prepare enough Cytosol Buffer Mix for the number of samples to be assayed; each sample requires 1 ml of the mix. To prepare 1 ml Cytosol Extraction Buffer Mix, add 2 µl 500X Protease Inhibitor Cocktail and 1 µl DTT to 1 ml Cytosol Extraction Buffer; mix well.
Upon arrival store the entire contents of the kit at -20°C. Once opened, store the Mitochondria Extraction Buffer and Cytosol Extraction Buffer at 4°C and the remaining components at -20°C.
