Abstract

Cell Apoptosis detection is vital for biological analysis and clinical application; some detection assays are already commercially available. However, it is still far from perfect and needs further improvement for less cost, time-consuming and operation demanding. TUNEL, a high market share cell Apoptosis assay, depends on adulteration fluorescent labelling dUTP by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase(TdT) which randomly adds deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) at the 3'-OH terminal of ssDNA with a template-free manner. Based on our previous work, we adopted a label-free strategy to reduce the cost and operation maintenance of TUNEL and developed a facile, rapid, convenient and in-situ assay for cell Apoptosis.
