Clone 1L15 is a ZooMAb^® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Caspase-8. It targets an epitope within the p18 subunit

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 15 amino acids from the p18 subunit of human Caspase-8.

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Western Blotting in HeLa cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:10,000 dilution of this antibody detected Caspase-8 in HeLa cell lysate.

Tested applications

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:10,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Caspase-8 in lysate from Jurkat cells treated with Staurosporin.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected Caspase-8 in HUVEC and A431 cells.

Affinity Binding Assay: A representative lot of this antibody bound Caspase-8 with a KD of 1 x 10-12 in an affinity binding assay.

Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected Caspase-8 in human colon and kidney tissue sections.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user

Anti-Caspase-8, clone 1L15 ZooMAb^®, Cat. No. ZRB1426, is a recombinant Rabbit monoclonal antibody that detects Caspase-8 and is tested for use in Affinity Binding Assay, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.

Caspase-8 (UniProt: Q14790; also known as EC:3.4.22.61, CASP-8, Apoptotic cysteine protease, Apoptotic protease Mch-5, CAP4, FADD-homologous ICE/ced-3-like protease, FADD-like ICE, FLICE, ICE-like apoptotic protease 5, MORT1-associated ced-3 homolog, MACH) is encoded by the CASP8 (also known as MCH5) gene (Gene ID: 841) in human. Caspase-8 is a cysteine protease that plays a major role in the extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway via death receptors. In its inactive form, it associates with FADD by interactions between their DED motifs and within the FAS-FADD-Caspase 8 complex caspase 8 undergoes self-cleavage to convert to the active form. Activated caspase 8 is subsequently released to the cytosol and it cleaves downstream effector caspases 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 10. Highest expression of caspase-8 is found in peripheral blood leukocytes, spleen, thymus, and liver and it is barely detectable in brain, testis, and skeletal muscle. Caspase-8 is produced with two propeptides (aa 1-216 and 375-384) that are cleaved under appropriate signals to produce a p18 (aa 217-374) and a p10 (aa 385-479) subunit. Active caspase 8 is a heterotetramer that consists of two p18 and two p10 subunits. In human, nine different isoforms of caspase-8 have been described that are produced by alternative splicing. Isoforms 5, 6, 7, and 8 lack the e catalytic site and may interfere with the pro-apoptotic activity of the complex. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitute lyophilized antibody pellet with 25μL of ultrapure water or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). Please refer to our reconstitution protocol and the specific application guidance on the suggested starting dilutions and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
