      Biotin Rabbit Anti- Active Caspase-3
      Biotin Rabbit Anti- Active Caspase-3
      Flow cytometric analysis of apoptotic and non-apoptotic populations for active caspase-3.  Jurkat cells (Human T-cell leukemia; ATCC TIB-152) were left untreated (left panel) or treated with 4 µM of camptothecin for 4 hr to induce apoptosis (right panel). Cells were washed once in PBS, then fixed and permeabilized using the BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ Kit (Cat. No. 554714) for 20 min at room temperature (RT), pelleted and washed with BD Perm/Wash™ buffer (component of Cat. No. 554714). Cells were subsequently stained with the biotin rabbit anti- active caspase-3 antibody (clone C92-605). Cells were then washed and resuspended in BD Perm/Wash™ buffer containing FITC-Avidin (5 ng/1x10e6 cells) [Cat. No. 554057] and incubated for 30 min at RT in the dark. Cells were then washed and resuspended in BD Perm/Wash™ buffer before analyzing by flow cytometry. The results show that untreated cells were primarily negative for active caspase-3 (left panel, M1); whereas more than half of the treated cells were positive for active caspase-3 staining (right panel, M2).

      The caspase family of cysteine proteases plays a key role in apoptosis and inflammation. Caspase-3 is a key protease that is activated during the early stages of apoptosis and, like other members of the caspase family, is synthesized as an inactive pro-enzyme that is processed in cells undergoing apoptosis by self-proteolysis and/or cleavage by another protease. The processed forms of caspases consist of large (17-22 kDa) and small (10-12 kDa) subunits which associate to form an active enzyme. Active caspase-3, a marker for cells undergoing apoptosis, consists of a heterodimer of 17 and 12 kDa subunits which is derived from the 32 kDa pro-enzyme. Active caspase-3 proteolytically cleaves and activates other caspases, as well as relevant targets in the cytoplasm, e.g., D4-GDI and Bcl-2, and in the nucleus (e.g. PARP).  This antibody has been reported to specifically recognize the active form of caspase-3 in human and mouse cells.  It has not been reported to recognize the pro-enzyme form of caspase-3.

      Biotin
      Biotin is a ubiquitous co-factor (also known as Vitamin B7) that has many properties that make it extremely useful for molecular biology. Biotin has an extremely high affinity for the Avidin family of proteins (Kd = 10-15 M), making it the perfect tool to link two molecules. Biotin labeled antibodies can be combined with any number of Avidin-conjugated probes in order to customize an assay to a particular need. This is especially useful in the case of magnetic cell separation using streptavidin/magnetic bead conjugates, or in the case of flow cytometry using streptavidin/fluorophore conjugates.
