Biological Activity
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].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : ≥ 50 mg/mL (68.53 mM; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
H2O : < 0.1 mg/mL (insoluble)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture and light). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

Protocol
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].
