Kit's description
Activation of caspases plays a central role in apoptosis. The CaspGLOWTM Red Active Caspase-8 Staining Kit provides a convenient means for detecting activated caspase-8 in living cells. The assay utilizes a caspase-8 inhibitor IETD-FMK conjugated to sulfo-rhodamine (Red-IETD-FMK) as the fluorescent marker. Red-IETD-FMK is cell permeable, nontoxic, and irreversibly binds to activated caspase-8 in apoptotic cells.
Highlights
• Detection method: Fluorescence microscopy, fluorescence plate reader (Ex/Em = 540/570 nm) and Flow cytometry • Species reactivity: Mammalian • Kit size: Convenient sizes (25 and 100 assays) • Applications: Detection of activated caspase:8 in living cells.
Kit's benefits
• Simple one-step procedure; takes only 1-2 hours • Fast and convenient • The fluorescence label allows detection of activated caspase-8 in apoptotic cells

Description
Human and some mouse caspases are active in apoptosis and cell death and even in necrosis and inflammation. CASP Gene and orthologous enzymes have been identifies successfully in the signal transduction cascade and pathways.
