Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting Specificity / Sensitivity Caspase-8 Antibody detects endogenous levels of mouse caspase-8 protein. Species Reactivity: Mouse Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a region within the large 18 kDa subunit of mouse caspase-8. Antibodies were purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. Background Apoptosis induced through the CD95 receptor (Fas/APO-1) and tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) activates caspase-8 and leads to the release of the caspase-8 active fragments, p18 and p10 (1-3). Activated caspase-8 cleaves and activates downstream effector caspases such as caspase-1, -3, -6, and -7. Caspase-3 ultimately elicits the morphological hallmarks of apoptosis, including DNA fragmentation and cell shrinkage.
