Caspase 8 assay kit

Manufactured by Beyotime
Sourced in United States

The Caspase-8 Assay Kit is a laboratory tool designed to measure the activity of the Caspase-8 enzyme. Caspase-8 is a crucial mediator in the apoptosis (programmed cell death) signaling pathway. The kit provides the necessary reagents and protocols to quantify Caspase-8 activity in cell or tissue samples.

Caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 activity was measured using a Caspase-3 Assay Kit, Caspase-8 Assay Kit, and Caspase-9 Assay Kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China), respectively. A 6-well cell culture plate was inoculated with 1 × 106 RAW264.7 cells per well and incubated for 16 h. WT, ΔsseK3 mutant, and sseK3-complemented strains were incubated with the RAW264.7 cells at a MOI of 100:1, with three replicate wells per strain. The plates were centrifuged at 1000 rpm and gentamicin-containing medium (100 μg/mL) was added and incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO2. The supernatants were then aspirated, and the cells were washed three times with PBS. Subsequently, the cells of the infected and mock groups were digested by trypsinization without EDTA and washed three times with ice-cold lysis buffer, and treated with 100 μL lysis buffer on ice. After incubation for 15 min, the concentration of protein was detected using the Bradford protein assay kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Subsequently, the cell lysates were incubated with Ac-DEVD-pNA for 4 h at 37 °C, the absorbance was read at 405 nm in a microplate spectrophotometer (Infinite 200 PRO NanoQuant, Tecan, Switzerland).

Cells (1 × 104 cells/well) were cultured in 96-well plates overnight and infected in triplicate with, or without, viruses at a MOI of 5 for 24 hours. The levels of caspase 3/7/8 activities in individual wells were measured by luminescent assay using the Caspase-Glo 3/7 kit (#G8091, Promega, Madison, WI, USA), caspase 8 assay kit (C1151, Beyotime, Shanghai, China) in a Synergy HTX Multi-Mode reader (BioTek, VT, USA).

Caspase Activity Assay in RAW264.7 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The activitiy of caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 was measured by Caspase-3 Assay Kit, Caspase-8 Assay Kit, Caspase-9 Assay Kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China), respectively. The 6-well cell culture plate was inoculated with 1×10 6 RAW264.7 cells per well and incubated for 16 h. WT, ΔsseK3 mutant and sseK3complemented strains were co-incubated with RAW264.7 cells at a MOI of 100:1, with three replicate wells per strain. The plates were centrifuged with 1000 rpm/min and gentamicin-containing medium (100 μg/mL) was added and incubated at 37 ℃ with 5% CO 2 . After that, the supernatants were aspirated, and the cells were washed three times with PBS. Subsequently, the cells of infected and mock groups were digested by trypsinization without EDTA and washed three times with ice-cold lysis buffer 3 times, followed by adding 100μL lysis buffer on ice. After incubated for 15 minutes, the concentration of protein was detected using the Bradford protein assay kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Subsequently, after the cell lysates were incubated with Ac-DEVD-pNA for 4 h at 37℃, the samples were read at 405 nm.

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.
