What Are the Advantages of Using Annexin V in Toxicology?
One of the main advantages of using Annexin V in toxicological studies is its ability to detect early apoptotic events before cell membrane integrity is compromised. This early detection is crucial for understanding the initial impact of toxic agents. Additionally, Annexin V assays are relatively simple and can be combined with other markers, such as propidium iodide, to differentiate between necrotic and apoptotic cells.
