AHP965 recognises an epitope located within the internal region of human Caspase-5, a 47kDa cysteine protease, otherwise known as ICH-3. Caspase-5 has been shown to be expressed at higher levels in the colon, lung, spleen, small intestine and by peripheral blood lymphocytes.
Caspase-5 is a member of a growing number of inflammatory caspases belonging to the Caspase-1 (ICE-type) subfamily, which require proteolytic processing of their inactive precursor into smaller active subunits. Unlike Caspase-1, Caspase-5 is not directly responsible for the activation of IL-1Beta from the pro-IL-1Beta precursor, but the presence of Caspase-5 does appear to enhance the processing of IL-1Beta.
Thein vivoexpression of Caspase-5 is elevated by Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and gene expression is also increased by Interferon gamma (IFNg).In vitrostudies have shown cleavage of Caspase-5 by the serine protease Granzyme B, which plays a major role in Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-induced apoptosis, seeWang, S.et al.for details.

Where this antibody has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the antibody for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
AHP965 detects a band of approximately 48 kDa in Ramos cell lysates. (Predicted precursor MWT 47.8kDa)
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
This product should be stored undiluted.
Storage in frost free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
