Quantifying Caspase-1 Activity in Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The caspase-1 activity was detected with Caspase-1 Activity Assay Kit (Solarbio, Beijing). The specific steps were conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions: First, 2–10 × 106 cells were lysed in 50–100 μl lysis buffer on ice for 10 min. For tissue samples, 3–10 mg tissues were added to 100 μl lysis and were homogenated with a tissue homogenizer and centrifuged. The supernatant was retained. Protein concentrations were detected using the Bradford method, ensuring that the protein concentration was 1–3 μg/μl. A standard curve was prepared using the pNA standard. Then, the optical density of specimen was read on a microplate reader (Molecular Device) at 405 nm. The percentage of caspase-1 activity changes was calculated by the radio of OD405 of the experimental wells to that of the normal wells.

Caspase-1 Activity Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Caspase-1 Activity Assay Kit (Solarbio, Beijing) was utilized to measure Caspase-1 activity. The following steps were conducted exactly as recommended by the manufacturer: First, 2–10 × 106 cells were lysed for 10 min on ice in 50–100 μL lysis buffer. The tissues (3–10 mg) were added to 100 μL lysis buffer, homogenized with a tissue homogenizer, and centrifuged. The supernatant was retained. The Bradford method was used to determine protein concentrations, assuring that the protein concentration was 1–3 μg/μL. A p-nitroaniline colorimetric reference was used to create a standard curve. The optical density of the specimen was then measured at 405 nm using a microplate reader (Molecular Devices). The percentage of Caspase-1 activity changes was calculated by the ratio of OD405 of the experimental wells to that of the normal wells.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
