Capase 3

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology
Sourced in United States

Caspase 3 is a key executioner caspase that plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis (programmed cell death). It is responsible for the proteolytic cleavage of many key cellular proteins, leading to the characteristic morphological and biochemical changes observed in apoptotic cells.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Tumor Markers

At the end of the experiment, tumors from different groups were collected and washed with PBS, fixed in 4% formaldehyde and embedded in paraffin. Embedded tissues were cut into 4 mm slices for immunohistochemical analyses of Capase 3 (1:50 dilution in 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA); Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, Massachusetts, USA), Ki67 (1:200 dilution in 5% BSA; ABclonal, Woburn, MA, USA), and CD34 (1:200 dilution in 5% BSA; Abnova, Taipei, Taiwan). Tissue slices were visualized under an optical microscope (Nikon Eclipse 80i, Tokyo, Japan) and subsequently analyzed with Image J2x software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA). The ratio of cells staining positive for Capase 3 and Ki67 in each image was determined as a ratio of apoptotic or proliferative cell number to total tumor cell number. For CD34 staining, microvessel density (MVD) was quantified by counting the number of capillaries per microscopic field within five random fields in the hot spot per slide at 400x magnification.

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.
