Caspase-8 Fluorometric Assay Kit
- Description: Activation of ICE-family proteases/caspases initiates apoptosis in mammalian cells. The FLICE/Caspase-8 Fluorometric Assay Kits provide a simple and convenient means for assaying the activity of caspases that recognize the sequence IETD. The assay is based on detection of cleavage of substrate IETD-AFC (AFC: 7-amino-4-trifluoromethyl coumarin). IETD-AFC emits blue light (λmax = 400 nm); upon cleavage of the substrate by FLICE or related caspases, free AFC emits a yellow-green fluorescence (λmax = 505 nm), which can be quantified using a fluorometer or a fluorecence microtiter plate reader.
- Features & Benefits: • Simple one-step procedure; takes 1-2 hours • Fast and convenient • Comparison of the fluorescence of AFC from an apoptotic sample with an uninduced control allows determination of the fold increase in FLICE activity.
