TransDetect^® In Situ Click TUNEL Imaging Kit-594 Fluorophore is a TUNEL assay reagent based on the Click reaction. In apoptosis, double-strand breaks or single strand breaks of genomic DNA can produce a large number of sticky 3'-OH ends. EdUTP is a dUTP nucleotide modified with a small alkyne moiety, which is more readily incorporated at the 3´-OH ends of fragmented DNA by the Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) enzyme. A covalent reaction occurs between the azide and the alkyne moiety on EdUTP based on the Click reaction, and more sensitive TUNEL detection can be performed via fluorophore on the azide.
