Study on Anticancer Potential of Quinolinium Salts Cites Magic Red Caspase Assay

Congratulations to the ChEMTox lab at Universidad Metropolitana, directed by Dr. Beatriz Zayas, for publishing their evaluation of nitrobenzazolo [3,2-a]quinolinium salts as potential anticancer agents!

To assess apoptosis, the activation of caspases 3 & 7 in the A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells was monitored using the ImmunoChemistry Technologies Magic Red™ Caspase 3&7 Assay. Cells stained with this assay that contain activated caspases 3 & 7 will exhibit a red fluorescence that may be monitored via fluorescence detection methods. This substrate-based caspase assay does not require a wash step, permeabilization, or fixation.

Several New Citations for FLICA Caspase Assays

The FLICA® fluorescent caspase assays for apoptosis detection from ImmunoChemistry Technologies continue to be routinely referenced in customers' journal publications. Here are just a few that have been released in recent weeks:


Measuring Apoptosis by Microscopy and Flow cytometry
CM Henry, E Hollville, SJ Martin
Methods, Feb 2013; DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ymeth.2013.01.008. [Abstract, In Press, Uncorrected Proof]

... These probes are cell-permeable and non-cytotoxic. The current protocol employs the poly-caspase FLICA probe (FAM-VAD-fmk), available from Immunochemistry technologies {sic}, that irreversibly binds to all active apoptotic caspases. ...
