The Invitrogen™ Caspase 3 Polyclonal Antibody is a highly specific antibody designed to detect caspase 3 in a variety of experimental applications, including Western blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), and Immunocytochemistry (ICC/IF). Caspase 3 is a key enzyme involved in the apoptosis (programmed cell death) pathway, and its activation is a crucial marker for detecting apoptosis. This antibody is derived from rabbit IgG and is ideal for protein analysis and cellular apoptosis studies.
The antibody specifically recognizes caspase 3 in human, mouse, and rat species, allowing for cross-species analysis. It has been tested for various applications, ensuring its reliability and consistency across a range of experimental methods.
