It is with great pride and immense pleasure that we introduce the Creative Bioarray QualiStem® Alkaline Phosphatase Live Staining Kit which provides a fast, simple and sensitive method for AP detection without fixing the cells. The reagent is nontoxic to the cells and the fluorescent signal will be discharged from the cells by exocytosis completely within two hours after removal of the staining solution, allowing the cell to be used for follow-up studies
Details
Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that can be divided into the apoptotic and inflammatory caspase subfamilies. Unlike the apoptotic caspases, members of the inflammatory subfamily are generally not involved in cell death but are associated with the immune response to microbial pathogens (reviewed in 1). Members of this subfamily include caspase-1, -4, -5, and -12. Activation of these caspases results in the cleavage and activation of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and IL-18 (2,3). Caspase-5 can interact with caspase-1; both are constituents of the NALP1 inflammasome, a complex that can trigger the cleavage of pro-IL-1β (4). Expression of caspase-5 can be regulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and IFN-ϒ (5).
