Active caspase 6 staining in Jurkat cells. cells (3 x 105 cells/100 μL/well) were either untreated (A) or treated with 1 μM staurosporine for 3 hours (B). Cells were incubated with FAM-VEID-FMK for 1 hour at 37°C. Increase in fluorescent intensity was observed using a fluorescence microscope with a FITC channel.

Detection of active Caspase 6 in Jurkat cells. Jurkat cells (3 x 105 cells/100 μL/well) were either untreated (control) or treated with 1 μM staurosporine for 3 hours. Cells were incubated with FAM-VEID-FMK for 1 hour at 37°C. The fluorescent signal was measured at Ex/Em = 490/525 nm (cut off at 515 nm) with a FlexStation microplate reader (Molecular Devices) using bottom read mode

Product details

Caspase 6 (active) Staining Kit - Green Fluorescence (ab219936) is a sensitive fluorometric assay to measure caspase 6 activation in live cells. The assay uses FAM-VEID-FMK, which binds irreversibly to active caspase 6 in apoptotic cells. The fluorescent intensity of the FAM-VEID-FMK signal is proportional to the amount of active caspase 6 and can be easily detected at Ex/Em = 490/525 nm by fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometer, or fluorescent microplate reader.

Caspase activity assay kits are based on fluorescent inhibitors of caspases. These inhibitors are cell permeable and non-cytotoxic. Once inside the cell, the caspase inhibitors bind covalently to the active caspases. Caspase 6 is involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Overexpression of caspase 6 promotes programmed cell death. It has been proven that caspase 6 has substrate selectivity for the peptide sequence Val-Glu-Ile-Asp (VEID). This kit uses FAM-VEID-FMK as a fluorescent indicator for caspase 6 activity. FAM-VEID-FMK irreversibly binds to activated caspase 6 in apoptotic cells.
