Background | Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are natural by-products of normal oxygen metabolism, including superoxide radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and its downstream products peroxides and hydroxides. Studies have shown that more than 95% of ROS in the body come from mitochondria, and the oxidative stress caused by its imbalance is related to cell growth and proliferation, developmental differentiation, aging and apoptosis, as well as many physiological and pathological processes. Under normal conditions, the intracellular antioxidant defense system is in balance with oxygen free radicals, and the level of intracellular ROS is maintained in a low physiological range. In pathological conditions, the balance between the intracellular antioxidant system and oxygen free radicals is disrupted. Excessive levels of ROS in cells can disrupt mitochondrial enzymes, lipids, and nucleic acids, leading to oxidative stress in the body. Meanwhile, ROS can also attack mitochondrial DNA and cause oxidative damage, resulting in structural and functional changes such as reduced mitochondrial ATP synthesis and mitochondrial membrane potential destruction. CheKine™ provides a simple, sensitive, and rapid method for detecting the rate of mitochondrial ROS production. The principle is to use fluorescent probe DCFH-DA for reactive oxygen species detection. DCFH-DA (2’,7’-Dichlorofluorescin Diacetate) can diffuse through the mitochondrial membrane and be hydrolyzed by esterase in mitochondria to form non fluorescent DCFH. DCFH is oxidized by ROS to produce fluorescent DCF, and the rate of increase in fluorescence intensity of DCF is proportional to the rate of ROS production. |

1.The species of antibody reactivity should be the sample species that can be matched normally after Abbkine R&D experts have passed strict scientific verification. If your sample is not within the range of reactivity, in order to improve the efficiency and results of your experiment, it is not suggested to try other species. Otherwise, it may lead to sample mismatch and affect the effect of your experiment.
2.Please aliquot the antibody received as soon as possible and store it at -20℃, avoid repeated freezing and thawing, and use it within one year.
