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.
Components
Mitochondria Extraction Buffer, Cytosol Extraction Buffer, Protease Inhibitor Cocktail, Reducing Reagent, Cytochrome c Antibody, and a user protocol.
Warning
Toxicity: Multiple Toxicity Values, refer to MSDS (O)
Specifications
Assay Time: 4 h
Principle
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.
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.
Storage and Stability
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.

Organelle damage and increases in mitochondrial permeabilization are key events in the development of cerebral ischemic tissue injury because they cause both modifications in ATP turnover and cellular apoptosis/necrosis. Early restoration of blood flow and improvement of mitochondrial function might

We previously showed that infection of rat oligodendrocytes by ultraviolet light-inactivated mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) resulted in apoptosis, suggesting that the apoptosis is triggered during cell entry. To further characterize the earliest apoptotic signaling events, here we treated cells with

A previous study demonstrated that infection of rat oligodendrocytes by mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) resulted in apoptosis, which is caspase dependent (Y. Liu, Y. Cai, and X. Zhang, J. Virol. 77:11952-11963, 2003). Here we determined the involvement of the mitochondrial

Apoptotic cell death of cardiomyocytes is a characteristic hallmark of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. The master hypoxamiR, microRNA-210 (miR-210), is considered the primary driver of the cellular response to hypoxic stress. However, to date, no consensus has emerged with regards to
