Jurkat T cells were stained with MitoPTTM JC-1 and viewed through a fluorescence microscope using a broad band path filter. Non-apoptotic cells exhibit red stained mitochondria (2 cells at the top). Apoptotic cells at varying stages of mitochondrial membrane potential appear green (3 cells at the bottom)

Jurkat T cells were treated with DMSO or 50 μM CCCP for 1 hour followed by staining with Mitochondrial Permeability Transition: MitoPT JC-1 Kit (ICT944) for 15-30 minutes. Loss of mitochondrial potential results in a reduction in red fluorescence and an increase in green fluorescence. Data acquired on the ZE5™ Cell Analyzer.

The MitoPT™ JC-1 kit uses a quick and easy staining method to clearly differentiate between non-apoptotic and apoptotic cells through mitochondrial functionality.

Product Details

Reagents in the Kit
MitoPT JC-1 Reagent, 400 tests
Two bottles 10x Assay Buffer, 125 mL
CCCP (50 mM in DMSO), 600 uL
Test Principle
An early indication of apoptosis involves a collapse in the electrochemical gradient across the mitochondrial membrane. Loss of mitochondrial membrane potential can be detected by a unique fluorescent cationic dye known as JC-1 (5,5’,6,6’-tetrachloro-1,1’,3,3’-tetraethylbenzamidazolocarbocyanin iodide) that has been incorporated into the MitoPT JC-1 kit.

The MitoPT JC-1 reagent easily penetrates cells and enters the mitochondria. It aggregates in the mitochondria of non-apoptotic cells and fluoresces red, whilst in apoptotic cells it diffuses throughout the cell. Once dispersed, the reagent assumes a monomeric form and fluoresces green. This allows an easy distinction between non-apoptotic red fluorescent cells and apoptotic green fluorescent cells which can be read with a flow cytometer, fluorescence microscope or a fluorescence plate reader using black microtitre plates.

Storage Information

Storage
Store the unopened kit and each unopened component at -20°C until the expiration date. Once opened, some components may be stored at 2-8°C until the expiration date. CCCP should be stored frozen. Once reconstituted with DMSO, dilute and use MitoPT reagent immediately, or store at ≤-20°C for 12 months protected from light and thawed no more than twice.
Guarantee
Guaranteed until date of expiry. Please see product label.
