Caspase 1

Manufactured by Beyotime
Sourced in China

Caspase-1 is a laboratory research tool used in the study of programmed cell death, or apoptosis. It is an enzyme that plays a critical role in the inflammatory response and the initiation of cell death pathways. Caspase-1 is responsible for the proteolytic processing and activation of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1β and interleukin-18. This product is intended for use in scientific research and not for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.

The proteins were extracted from the cells with radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer (Beyotime Biotechnology), and the concentration was measured using a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) kit (Beyotime Biotechnology). Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was performed to separate proteins and the cells were then transferred to the polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (PVDF; Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). The membranes were blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 1 hour and incubated with TLR-4 (1:500, Beyotime Biotechnology), NLRP3 (1:500, Beyotime Biotechnology), p-p65 (1:500, Beyotime Biotechnology), Caspase-1 (1:500, Beyotime Biotechnology), or GAPDH (1:500, Beyotime Biotechnology) primary antibodies at 4 ℃ overnight. Subsequently, the membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibody (1:500, Beyotime Biotechnology) at room temperature for 1 hour, and then the bounded secondary antibody was visualized using chemiluminescence (Beyotime Biotechnology).

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.
