Description

Ac-DEVD-AFC is a fluorogenic substrate (λex=400 nm, λem=530 nm).

In Vitro

After incubation with Ac-DEVD-AFC for 1 hour, significant increase of caspase-3 activity is observed at 4 hour compare with control. There are no significant increases of caspase-3 activity in Photofrin and LPLI group. The cleavage of Ac-DEVD-AFC in response to caspase-3 activation is remarkably inhibited by shRNA-BimL transfection[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.43 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.43 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Cell Assay
[1]

For the detection of caspase-3 activity, PBS washes cell pellets (derive from either the medium or the adherent cells) which are suspended in extract buffer [25 mM HEPES (pH7.4), 0.1% TritonX-l00, 10% glycerol, 5 mM DTT, 1mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 10 mg/mL pepstatin, and 10 mg/mL Leupeptin] and vortexed vigorously. 20μl of extract (corresponding to 10% of the sample) are incubated with the caspase-3 fluorogenic substrates Ac-DEVD-AFC at 100 μM final concentration at room temperature, and caspase-3 activity is measured continuously by monitoring the release of fluorigenic AFC at 37°C[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
