Flow cytometric analysis of Active Caspase-3 expression by Apoptotic and Non-apoptotic Human Jurkat cells. Cells from the Human Jurkat (T-cell leukemia, ATCC® TIB-152™) cell line were left untreated (Left histogram) or treated with 12 μM of Camptothecin for 6 hours to induce apoptosis (Right histogram). Cells were washed, fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and then permeabilized with BD Perm/Wash™ Buffer (Cat. No. 554723). The cells were subsequently stained in BD Perm/Wash™ Buffer with FITC Rabbit Anti-Active Caspase-3 antibody (Cat. No. 570334/570410) at 1 µg/test. The fluorescence histograms showing Active Caspase-3 expression were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of single cells. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ Software. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.
Flow cytometric analysis of Active Caspase-3 expression by Apoptotic and Non-apoptotic Mouse thymocytes. C57BL/6 Mouse thymocytes were left untreated (Left histogram) or treated with 1 μM of Dexamethasone for 5 hours to induce apoptosis (Right histogram). Cells were washed, fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and then permeabilized with BD Perm/Wash™ Buffer (Cat. No. 554723). The cells were subsequently stained in BD Perm/Wash™ Buffer with FITC Rabbit Anti-Active Caspase-3 antibody (Cat. No. 570334/570410) at 1 µg/test.

Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cell and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

The C92-605.rMAb is a recombinant monoclonal antibody derived from C92-605 hybridoma cells. This antibody specifically recognizes 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. The Caspase family of cysteine proteases play crucial roles 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, eg, D4-GDI and Bcl-2, and in the nucleus (eg, PARP).
