Characteristics: 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. 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).
