フローサイトメトリー用のHypoxia Green Reagentは、生細胞の低酸素濃度を検出するために使用される抗体非依存試薬です。膜透過性プローブは、酸素濃度が低下するとローダミンを放出し、蛍光反応をもたらします。低酸素症は、心血管疾患や腫瘍による免疫抑制など、多くの疾患の特徴であり、腫瘍の生存と増殖に不可欠です。
Can the Hypoxia Green Reagent for Flow Cytometry be used in cells expressing fluorescent proteins?
Yes, as long as the fluorescent protein does not emit in the green range (510–535 nm). For cells that do not express a fluorescent protein, we recommend viewing unstained cells under the FITC channel to examine autofluorescence. For cells expressing a fluorescent protein, we recommend analyzing unstained cell samples to determine the extent the fluorescent protein emission may overlap in the FITC channel.
Our Hypoxia Green Reagent for Flow Cytometry is already highly fluorescent before using the product. What could have caused this?
This could be due to storage of the product under anaerobic or low oxygen conditions. The Hypoxia Green Reagent for Flow Cytometry increases in fluorescence upon exposure to low oxygen environments, and this change is not reversible. For some ROS indicators, we recommend storing the reagent under dry nitrogen or argon to prevent oxidation during storage. However, this is not appropriate for the Hypoxia Green Reagent for Flow Cytometry.
What is different between the use of the Hypoxia Green Reagent for Flow Cytometry (Cat No. H20035) versus imaging using the Image-iT Green Hypoxia Reagent (Cat Nos. I14833, I14834)?
The difference between these products is in the final working concentration of the reagent and incubation time. For flow cytometry applications, we recommend using a final concentration in the range of 0.5 to 1 µM with an incubation time ranging from 2 to 3 hrs. For imaging, we recommend a final concentration in the range of 1 to 10 µM with an incubation time ranging from 30 mins to 1 hr. For both applications, one should optimize the final working concentration and incubation time.
Is Hypoxia Green Reagent for Flow Cytometry (Cat No. H20035) the same reagent as the Image-iT Green Hypoxia Reagent (Cat Nos. I14833, I14834)?
The Hypoxia Green Reagent for Flow Cytometry and the Image-iT Green Hypoxia Reagent are the same reagent, formulated differently for flow cytometry and imaging use, respectively.

Aiming at improved therapeutic efficacies, the combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy (chemo-radiotherapy) has been widely studied and applied in clinic. However, the hostile characteristics of tumor microenvironment such as hypoxia often limit the efficacies in both types of cancer therapies. Herein, catalase (CAT), an antioxidant enzyme, is encapsulated inside liposomes ... More
Tumor-targeted nanoplatform for in situ oxygenation-boosted immunogenic phototherapy of colorectal cancer.
Authors:He H, Liu L, Liang R, Zhou H, Pan H, Zhang S, Cai L

PubMed ID:31945508
Advanced colorectal cancer has a high mortality rate since conventional treatments have limited therapeutic effects and poor prognosis with high risks of metastasis and recurrence. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising treatment modality for the eradication of colorectal cancer, but its curative efficacy is severely affected by tumor hypoxia. Herein, ... More
