- Extra Details:
- Caspase-1, also known as IL-1 beta-converting enzyme (ICE), is an enzyme that cleaves the inflammatory cytokines IL-1 beta and IL-18, releasing the mature, active peptides. Caspase-1 is important for defense against pathogens and it also is involved in the induction of apoptosis. Thymocytes from caspase-1 deficient mice are resistant to Fas-mediated apoptosis, and caspase-1 is similar to the cell death gene CED-3 of C. elegans. Caspase-1 is a heterotetramer that consists of two anti-parallel heterodimers, each one formed by a 20kD (p20) and a 10kD (p10) subunit. The enzyme has a preferred cleavage site of Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp (YVAD). Caspase-1 is highly expressed in spleen and lung, and is absent from brain. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: THP cell lysate Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable at -20°C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: FITC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
