Caspase-8, a member of the caspase-family of proteases, plays a key role in mediating Fas (CD95) and TNF induced apoptosis. Caspase-8 is synthesized as inactive pro-enzyme and activation of the enzyme involves proteolytic cleavage that leads to the release of the active p18 and p10 subunits. Activated caspase-8 is able to cleave and activate downstream caspases, such as caspase-3, -6, -7 and a death agonist member of the Bcl-2/Bcl-xL family, Bid, leading to apoptosis.

Mouse

Monoclonal

Mouse IgG1

C502S

Human

Synthetic peptide derived from the amino-terminal sequence of p10 of human caspase-8

0.2 μg/ml

Liquid

100 µg (200 µg/ml) affinity purified antibody in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 1% BSA, and 0.02% thimerosal.

Affinity purified

Western blot, Immunoprecipitation

Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml) and immunoprecipitation (10 µg/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. Detects the 10 kDa small subunit of caspase-8. The antibody does not detect the full-length of caspase-8.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.Human and some mouse caspases are active in apoptosis and cell death and even in necrosis and inflammation. CASP Gene and orthologous enzymes have been identifies successfully in the signal transduction cascade and pathways.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
