Recent Publications Using FLICA Assays

Our FLICA® fluorescent caspase assays continue to be routinely referenced in customers' publications. Here are just a couple that have been released in recent weeks:
Apoptosis-Associated Speck-like Protein Containing a Caspase Recruitment Domain Inflammasomes Mediate IL-1β Response and Host Resistance to Trypanosoma cruzi Infection.Silva GK, Costa RS, Silveira TN, Caetano BC, Horta CV, Gutierrez FR, Guedes PM, Andrade WA, De Niz M, Gazzinelli RT, Zamboni DS, Silva JS. J Immunol.
 (2013). [Abstract]

“The intracellular caspase-1 activity in the infected BMMs was assessed using a caspase-1 fluorescent labeled inhibitor of caspases (FLICA) kit (Immunochemistry Technologies) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The BMMs (1.5 × 106 cells) were infected with T. cruzi for 24 h, and the cells were stained with FLICA.” 
Candida albicans escapes from mouse neutrophils.  Ermert D, Niemiec MJ, Röhm M, Glenthøj A, Borregaard N, Urban CF. J. Leukoc. Biol. (2013). [Abstract]

“…an additional assay based on FLICAs using the polycaspases SR FLICA Apoptosis Detection Kit Caspase Assay (ImmunoChemistry Technologies, Bloomington, MN, USA) to assess caspase activation. In both cases, stainings were carried out according to the manufacturer's guidelines.”
