APO ACTIVE 3 Phycoerythrin (PE) ™
Antibody Specific Active Caspase 3 Detection Kit
|
| Key Benefits: |
- Highly specific for active human and murine caspase 3. Other assay kits require the utilization of peptide based (DEVD) reagents that tend to cross-react with caspase 7 and other caspases.
- Applications - Flow Cytometery, Fluorescent Microscopy, or Fluorescent plate reader.
- Yields both quantitative and qualitative results. Gives a strong positive signal.
- Can be used in conjunction with other antibodies or stains.
- No need to make cell lysates or run western blots. Cells can be fixed and analyzed later.
- Works with human, mouse and rat cell lines.

| Assay Principle |
Gentaur's APO-ACTIVE 3 PE Kit utilizes a rabbit affinity purified polyclonal antibody raised against amino acid 163-175 of murine caspase 3 (9). This neo epitope is present on the p18 subunit of cleaved caspase 3 (9). Cells undergoing apoptosis are fixed and permeablized prior to the addition of the antibody. A secondary PE labeled goat anti rabbit antibody is used to visualize the bound rabbit anti caspase 3 polyclonal. PE labeling allows for use with a variety of applications. |
(A)
Jurkat Cells were stimulated with DMSO for 2 hours. The cells were washed and fixed for 15 minutes. The cells were then permeabilized with saponin and stained with Rabbit anti active caspase 3 antibody for 1 hour. The samples were then stained with PE labeled Goat anti Rabbit antibody.
(B)
Jurkat Cells were stimulated with staurosporine for 2 hours. The cells were washed and fixed for 15 minutes. The cells were then permeabilized with saponin and stained with Rabbit anti active caspase 3 antibody for 1 hour. The samples were then stained with PE labeled Goat anti Rabbit antibody.
| Kit contents |
- 1 vial of Rabbit anti cleaved caspase 3 affinity purified polyclonal antibody
- 1 vial of PE labeled Goat anti Rabbit affinity purified polyclonal antibody
- 1 vial of 10X fixative.
