Human Caspase-1/ICE Quantikine ELISA Kit

Catalog Number:

DCA100

I used this caspase-1 ELISA kit to measure the cleaved caspase-1 (p20) from culture supernatant of THP-1 cells incubated with or without LPS+ATP. The cleaved caspase-1 can be measured from culture supernatant of THP-1 treated with positive control, but not untreated cells. I recommend it

Summary

The Good

It is sensitive and specific

The Bad

the measured value is not very high

The Bottom Line

The ELISA kit is expensive but it is very useful as second method to detect caspase-1 activation
