Product Description

CST’s Apoptosis Marker: SignalStain® Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) IHC Detection Kit is a "ready to use" system designed to detect the activation of caspase-3 in human tissue and cell preps by immunohistochemistry. The kit utilizes the ABC immunoperoxidase method to detect endogenous levels of caspase-3 protein. Prediluted Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) Antibody is bound by a biotinylated secondary antibody. Avidin DH and biotinylated horseradish peroxidase are complexed by mixing defined amounts prior to use, and the mixture subsequently binds the secondary antibody. The macromolecular complex is localized by incubation with NovaRED™ enzyme substrate.
The prediluted primary antibody, along with the ABC system, allows the user to examine caspase-3 localization consistently and offers the highest sensitivity with the lowest background.

Specificity / Sensitivity

Apoptosis Marker: SignalStain® Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) IHC Detection Kit detects endogenous levels of the large fragment (17/19 kDa) of activated caspase-3 resulting from cleavage adjacent to Asp175. This antibody does not recognize full length caspase-3 or other cleaved caspases. This kit was developed for and is recommended for immunohistochemistry only.

Species Reactivity:

Human, Mouse

Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:

Rat

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino-terminal residues surrounding to Asp175 in human caspase-3. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Background

Caspase-3 (CPP-32, Apopain, Yama, SCA-1) is a critical executioner of apoptosis, as it is either partially or totally responsible for the proteolytic cleavage of many key proteins, such as the nuclear enzyme poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) (1). Activation of caspase-3 requires proteolytic processing of its inactive zymogen into activated p17 and p12 fragments. Cleavage of caspase-3 requires the aspartic acid residue at the P1 position (2).
