Anti pro caspase 3

Manufactured by Abcam
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

Anti-pro-caspase-3 is a primary antibody that binds to the pro-caspase-3 protein. Pro-caspase-3 is an inactive precursor of the caspase-3 enzyme, which plays a critical role in the execution phase of cell apoptosis (programmed cell death). This antibody can be used to detect the pro-caspase-3 protein in various applications, such as western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry.

Cells were lysed, and the total protein was obtained using RIPA buffer (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology). A bicinchoninic acid assay kit (Pierce; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) was used to quantify the total protein. Equal amounts of protein were separated by 12% SDS-PAGE for 40 min and then transferred to PVDF membranes (EMD Millipore). The membranes were blocked for 1.5 h at room temperature with 5% nonfat milk and incubated with primary antibodies including anti-FA2H (Cat no. ab128917; 1:1,000; Abcam), anticleaved caspase-3 (Cat no. ab32042; 1:1,000; Abcam), and anti-pro-caspase-3 (Cat no. ab32499; 1:1,000; Abcam) overnight at 4°C. The next day, the membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antirabbit secondary antibody (Cat. no. 7074; 1:2,000; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) for 2 h. Protein bands were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence (GE Healthcare Life Sciences). β-Actin (1:1,000; Abcam) served as the loading control for normalization.

Proteins were extracted from cell lysis. The expressions of caspase 3 (anti-pro-caspase 3 from Abcam plc.; anti-cleaved-caspase 3 from Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) and caspase 9 (anti-caspase 9, from Abcam plc.) in cell lysis were analyzed using 12% SDS-PAGE, whereas DAPK1 (anti-DAPK1, from Sigma-Aldrich Co., St Louis, MO, USA.), AKT (anti-AKT, from Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) and phosphorylated AKT (anti-phos-AKTser473, from Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) were analyzed using 10% SDS-PAGE. β-Actin (anti-β-actin, from #TA-09, ZSGB-BIO, China) was the reference control. After being resolved by SDS-PAGE, proteins were transferred to Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) membranes and then blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin (Sigma-Aldrich Co.) for 1 h. Next, the membranes were separately incubated with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight, and then with appropriate HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (from #ZDR-5306 and -5307, ZSGB-BIO) at room temperature for 1 h. After detecting signals using ECL reagents (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), gray value of different proteins was quantified with ImageJ v1.28 and normalized to β-actin.

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.
