Lipopeptide CPE4
Lipopeptide CPE4 is a PEG-modified peptide E4 [(EIAALEK)4]. Lipopeptide CPE4 is capable of coiled-coil formation when attached to liposomes. Lipopeptide CPE4 triggers membrane fusion between liposomes and living cells with concomitant efficient cytosolic delivery of a variety of compounds such as fluorescent dyes Propidium Iodide (PI) (HY-D0815) and TO-PRO-3 iodide (HY-117070), and Doxorubicin (DOX) (HY-15142A). Lipopeptide CPE4 can be used for drug delivery research.

Annexin V plus membrane-impermeant dye apoptosis staining
Annexin V-based apoptosis assays rely on the detection of phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization from the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane to the outer leaflet, an early biochemical hallmark of apoptosis. Fluorescently labeled Annexin V binds PS in a calcium-dependent manner, enabling identification of early apoptotic cells by flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy. When combined with a membrane-impermeant DNA-binding dye (e. g. , propidium iodide), this approach allows discrimination between viable (Annexin V−/dye−), early apoptotic (Annexin V+/dye−), and late apoptotic or necrotic (Annexin V+/dye+) cell populations by assessing membrane integrity and PS exposure.
