- Flow, Immunoprecipitation, Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
Cleaved Caspase-7 (Asp198) Antibody detects endogenous levels of the large fragment of caspase-7 resulting from cleavage at aspartic acid 198. The antibody does not cross-react with full length caspase-7 or with other caspases.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino-terminal residues surrounding Asp198 in human caspase-7. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from Jurkat cells and 293 cells, untreated, cytochrome c-treated (0.25 mg/ml, 1 hour) or etoposide-treated (25 µM, 5 hours), using Cleaved Caspase-7 (Asp198) Antibody.
Background
Caspase-7 (CMH-1, Mch3, ICE-LAP3) has been identified as a major contributor to the execution of apoptosis (2-4). Caspase-7 is an effector caspase (along with caspase-2 and -3), meaning that it cleaves essential cellular machinery rather than activating other caspases (5-8). Caspase-7 is cleaved by many enzymes, including caspases-3, -6, -8, -9 and granzyme B (1,4,5). Once activated, caspase-7 cleaves many of the same substrates as caspase-3, including poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, or PARP (2,4).
