This data was developed using ab184787, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

Immunohistochemical analysis of formalin fixed paraffin embedded human tonsil labelling Caspase-3 with ab184787 at a concentration of 0.05µg/ml. The immunostaining was performed on a Ventana DISCOVERY ULTRA (Roche Tissue Diagnostics) instrument with a OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed with DISCOVERY cell conditioning solution (CC1) 100°C, pH8.5 for 32mins.

ab184787 Anti-Caspase-3 antibody [EPR18297] antibody was incubated for 16mins at 37°C. Sections were counterstained with Hematoxylin II. Image inset shows absence of staining in secondary antibody only control.

Customers are encouraged to optimise antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentration, incubation times and temperature for best results in their own IHC assay workflow (automated and manual)

Anti-CASP3 antibody [EPR18297] (ab184787) staining at 1/2000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab184787 was shown to bind specifically to CASP3. A band was observed at 35 kDa in treated wild-type HAP1 and HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in CASP3 knockout HAP1 cell line and a band at a lower molecular weight in the CAPS3 knockout HeLa cell line ab255370 (knockout cell lysate ab263779) which cannot be cleaved to active CASP3. To generate this image, wild-type and CASP3 knockout HAP1 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution. This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab184787).

Target data

Thiol protease that acts as a major effector caspase involved in the execution phase of apoptosis (PubMed : 18723680, PubMed : 20566630, PubMed : 23650375, PubMed : 35338844, PubMed : 35446120, PubMed : 7596430). Following cleavage and activation by initiator caspases (CASP8, CASP9 and/or CASP10), mediates execution of apoptosis by catalyzing cleavage of many proteins (PubMed : 18723680, PubMed : 20566630, PubMed : 23650375, PubMed : 7596430). At the onset of apoptosis, it proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase PARP1 at a '216-Asp-|-Gly-217' bond (PubMed : 10497198, PubMed : 16374543, PubMed : 7596430, PubMed : 7774019). Cleaves and activates sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) between the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper domain and the membrane attachment domain (By similarity). Cleaves and activates caspase-6, -7 and -9 (CASP6, CASP7 and CASP9, respectively) (PubMed : 7596430). Cleaves and inactivates interleukin-18 (IL18) (PubMed : 37993714, PubMed : 9334240). Involved in the cleavage of huntingtin (PubMed : 8696339). Triggers cell adhesion in sympathetic neurons through RET cleavage (PubMed : 21357690). Cleaves DSG2 in response to apoptosis resulting in a loss of full length DSG2 at desmosome cell junctions and subsequent loss of cell-cell adhesion (PubMed : 17559062). Also cleaves JUP in response to apoptosis (PubMed : 17559062). Cleaves and inhibits serine/threonine-protein kinase AKT1 in response to oxidative stress (PubMed : 23152800). Acts as an inhibitor of type I interferon production during virus-induced apoptosis by mediating cleavage of antiviral proteins CGAS, IRF3 and MAVS, thereby preventing cytokine overproduction (PubMed : 30878284). Also involved in pyroptosis by mediating cleavage and activation of gasdermin-E (GSDME) (PubMed : 35338844, PubMed : 35446120). Cleaves XRCC4 and phospholipid scramblase proteins XKR4, XKR8 and XKR9, leading to promote phosphatidylserine exposure on apoptotic cell surface (PubMed : 23845944, PubMed : 33725486). Cleaves BIRC6 following inhibition of BIRC6-caspase binding by DIABLO/SMAC (PubMed : 36758104, PubMed : 36758106).
