Caspase glo 8 assay system

Manufactured by Promega
Sourced in United States

The Caspase-Glo® 8 Assay System is a luminescent assay that measures the activity of caspase-8, a key enzyme involved in the initiation of the apoptotic (programmed cell death) pathway. The assay provides a quick and sensitive method for detecting caspase-8 activity in cell lysates or purified enzyme preparations.

Caspase-8 Activity Assay in HEK293T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293T cells (1 × 106 cell/mL) were plated in 96-well plates and transfected with 150 ng/well indicated plasmids. The negative control group used the same quality pEGFP-N1 plasmid. The positive control group was stimulated with 2 μg/mL TNF-α for 4 h. At 20 h after transfection, the Caspase-Glo 8 assay system (Promega) was tested using SpectraMax i3 according to the manufacturer's instructions (scanning at full wavelength).

Caspase Activity Measurement Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The activity of caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9 was analyzed using Caspase-Glo®3/7 Assay System, Caspase-Glo®8 Assay System and Caspase-Glo®9 Assay System (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, 96-well plates containing cells were removed from the incubator and the plates were allowed to equilibrate to room temperature. Caspase-Glo® reagent (100 µl) was added to each well of a white-walled 96-well plate containing 100 µl of blank or cells in culture medium. The contents of the wells were gently mixed and incubated at room temperature for 30 min. Finally, the luminescence of each sample was assessed on a plate-reading luminometer (PerkinElemer EnVision; PerkinElemer, Waltham, MA, USA) as directed by the manufacturer's instructions.

Measuring Caspase Activity in MEFs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MEFs were seeded in 96-well plates and stimulated as described. A luciferase-based caspase assay was used to measure caspases-3/7 (Caspase-Glo® 3/7 Assay Systems, Promega) and caspase-8 (Caspase-Glo 8 Assay System, Promega) activity following stimulation according to manufacturer's protocol. Samples were read on a Victor3 1420 multilabel automated plate reader, and triplicates were performed for each condition (means ± S.D. are presented). The luciferase assays in HEK293T cells have been described previously (3 (link)), and the human NLRX1 promoter (−1515;+1)-driven luciferase construct was purchased from GeneCopoeia.

Caspase Activation Assay for TRAIL

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were treated GST-TRAIL or drozibumab as indicated in the text and figure legends. For caspase inhibition, cells were preincubated with 100 uM ZVAD-FMK or DMSO for two hours and subsequently incubated overnight with 2500 ng/ml drozitumab or 2500 ng/ml drozitumab plus 10 μg/ml F(ab’)2. Caspase activity was assessed using the Caspase-Glo® 3/7 assay system (Cat # G8092, Promega Corporation, Madison, WI) and/or Caspase-Glo® 8 assay system (Cat # G8202, Promega Corporation, Madison, WI) as previously described [27 (link)]. Three independent experiments normalized to the control cells +/− SE were performed.

OSCC‐derived cells (SJGs) and OK cells were seeded on Corning® Rat Tail Collagen I (Corning, NY, USA) coated 96‐well plates (30,000 cells/well). The next day, cells were treated for 6 h with 0–400 ng/ml human FasL (Sigma‐Aldrich). Measurements of caspase activity were performed using the Caspase‐Glo® 3/7 Assay System (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) and the Caspase‐Glo® 8 Assay System (Promega), following the manufacturer's instructions.

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.
