Benefits: Simple: The assay employs an add-mix-measure format combining a caspase-1 substrate, Z-WEHD-aminoluciferin, with a thermostable luciferase in an optimized, lytic reagent. Specific: Assay specificity for caspase-1 is confirmed by the subsequent use of the caspase-1 inhibitor Ac-YVAD-CHO. Direct Measurement: Measure caspase-1 activity directly in microplate wells or monitor released caspase-1 activity in culture medium from cells, preserving cells for use in other assays. See Results: Using this assay system, caspase-1 activation has been demonstrated in cell culture models of inflammasome activation, such as human THP-1 and mouse J774A.1 cell lines, and with primary cell models, such as human PBMCs.
