Caspase-3 activity increased dramatically in cytosolic extracts of rat cerebellar granule cells exposed to apoptotic conditions (basal medium Eagle (BME) containing 5 mM K ؉ without serum) when assayed with Ac-DEVD-amc, but not with Ac-YVAD-afc, a preferred substrate for caspase-1. This provided a b
PC12 cells are a useful model system for studying neuronal apoptosis. Like neurons, they undergo apoptosis when deprived of trophic support. Involvement of caspases [interleukin 1-converting enzyme (ICE)related proteases] has been implicated in apoptosis induced by various stimuli in many cell type
Previous studies have shown that caspases (proteases related to interleukin-1 converting enzyme) are needed for the death of trophic factor-deprived PC12 cells. However, the protease involved in this process has not been identified. The results presented here strongly suggest that caspase-2 (Nedd2/
## Abstract Apoptotic thymocytes were found to be much dimmer than normal thymocytes when stained with several nucleic acid dyes. These dyes provide a quick and simple assay for apoptosis which works for live cells and does not require a UV laser. The collection of dyes giving this staining pattern
