Description

5-IAF (5-Iodoacetamidofluorescein) is an idoacetamide derivate of fluoresceine. 5-IAF can be used as fluorescent probe that labels proteins and other molecules having free thiols (cysteine side chains)[1][2].

In Vitro

8 μM GSH sample solution is derivatized with 8, 80, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 2000, 2500 μM 5-IAF, respectively and analyzed with CE-LIF. The highest signal intensity is obtained with 400 and 800 μM 5-IAF[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMF    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.85 mM); Clear solution

  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMF    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (4.85 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

The concentration of the stock solution you require exceeds the measured solubility. The following solution is for reference only. If necessary, please contact MedChemExpress (MCE).
Method for preparing in vivo working solution for animal experiments: Take μL DMSO stock solution, add μL . μL , mix evenly, next add μL Tween 80, mix evenly, then add μL Saline.
 If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.

Kinase Assay
[2]

HepG2 cells are lysed in 1 mL 2% acetonitrile in water, and transfered to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube. An additional 200 µL 2% acetonitrile is used to rinse the dish and combined with the cell extract. To measure the free GSH concentration, three aliquots of 80 µL cell extract are immediately transferred to 0.5 mL centrifuge tubes after a quick mix. Then 20 µL 50 µM NAC is added, followed by the addition of 100 µL 400 µM 5-IAF to the mixture. The derivatization is conducted at room temperature in dark for 1 h, after which the mixtures are centrifuged at 9000× g for 5 min to sediment the insoluble proteins. 10 µL supernatant is diluted 100× with water and analyzed immediately by CE-LIF[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
