Antibodies against caspase 3

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology
Sourced in United States

Antibodies against caspase-3 are laboratory reagents used to detect and analyze the expression of the caspase-3 protein. Caspase-3 is a critical effector caspase involved in the execution phase of cell apoptosis (programmed cell death). These antibodies can be used in various techniques, such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry, to study the role of caspase-3 in cellular processes.

Example 19

Cleaved caspase-3 is a key executor in the apoptotic process. In this example, the expression of caspase-3 was detected using western blot analysis.

INS-1 cells treated with GLP-1 analogues were cultured with xx mM glucose and 500 μl. culture medium per well. For the immunoblot analysis, proteins were separated using SDS-PAGE, and then transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. The membrane was probed using antibodies against caspase-3 (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, USA), followed by horseradish peroxidase-(HRP) conjugated secondary antibodies (Epitomics, Burlingame, USA). The membrane was visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence system (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Buckinghamshire, USA). The levels of protein expression were normalized against β-actin expression.

The results summarized in FIG. 18A show that the expression level of caspase-3 treated with GLP-1 analogues. FIG. 18B shows the degree of reduced expression level of caspase-3 on INS-1 cells upon the incubation with GLP-1 analogues. The results of FIGS. 18A and 18B indicated that some of GLP-1 analogues, including GLP-1-Aib8-EG4-2E-2FA-C16 (Aib8-EG4-C16) and GLP-1-Ala8-EG4-2E-2FA-C16 (Ala8-EG4-C16), can effectively reduce the expression level of caspase-3 in INS-1 cells.

The concentration of protein samples extracted from tissues and cells was determined using the BCA Protein Assay kit (Bio-Rad, Mississauga, ON, Canada). Protein samples were separated with 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gel and transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. After blocking in 5% nonfat milk for 2 hours at room temperature, the membranes were treated with antibodies against caspase 3, cleaved caspase 3 and IGF-1 (Cell Signaling Technologies) and GAPDH (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) overnight at 48°C, followed by secondary antibodies at room temperature for 1 hour. Western blot bands were quantified using Odyssey v1.2 software by measuring the band intensity (area × OD) for each group. GAPDH served as an internal control.

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.
