Figure 1: Flow cytometry data in permeabilized cells of overexpressed FLAG-epitope-tagged pro-caspase-8 (active-site-mutant) in 293T cells using anti-caspase-8 mAbs (1G12) (Prod. No. AG-20T-0137), anti-FLAG or control. As a positive control staining with a MAb to FLAG was performed. As a negative control an isotype control was employed.
Figure 2: Western blot using anti-Caspase-8 (mouse), mAb (1G12) (Prod. No. AG-20T-0137) detecting endogenous caspase-8 in various mouse cell line, but not in human cell lines.
Figure 3: Western blot using anti-Caspase-8 (mouse), mAb (1G12) (Prod. No. AG-20T-0137) detecting endogenous caspase-8 in MEFs from WT mice, but not in MEFs from caspase-8-/- mice. Several smaller bands detected in the caspase-8-/- MEFs, correspond to truncated forms of caspase-8 made in the caspase-8-/- mice since only exons 1 and 2 of mouse caspase-8 were deleted in these knock-out mice and not the region encoding the p20 subunit. Note: Extra bands marked by * are only seen in lysates from caspase-8-/- MEFs and not in lysates from any WT cell lines or mouse WT tissue.
Figure 4: Western blot using anti-Caspase-8 (mouse), mAb (1G12) (Prod. No. AG-20T-0137) detecting the cleaved active p20 subunit of mouse caspase-8 in addition to the caspase-8 precursor, upon an apoptotic stimulus e.g. by cross-linked rhsFasL.

Description
Procaspase-8 belongs to the family of caspases. Binding of FasL to Fas leads to formation of a receptor complex at the cellular membrane, which was named DISC. The DISC consists of oligomerized receptors, the DD-containing adaptor molecule FADD, procaspase-8, procaspase-10 and c-FLIP. The DISC structure provides a platform for the oligomerization of procaspase-8 that allows two procaspase-8 homodimers to be in the close proximity leading to the initial activation of procaspase-8. At the first cleavage step, the N-terminal p43/p41 and the C-terminal p30 cleavage products are generated. Importantly, these cleavage products already possess catalytic activity. At the second cleavage step, p43/p41 and p30 are processed to p10 and p20, respectively, which leads to the generation of the active caspase-8 heterotetramer (p20/p10)2.
