  • Caspase-cleavage anti-keratin antibodies for detection of apoptosis
    Publication number: 20090221004
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of detecting and quantifying apoptosis. In one aspect, the invention is directed to an isolated monoclonal or polyclonal antibody that specifically recognizes caspase-generated products of K18 or K19 but does not react with intact K18 or K19. The antibody typically reacts with the cleavage site of K18 or K19 at Asp237. The binds to the epitope common to caspase-cleaved K18 and K19-(T/S)VEVD- and the Asp-proximal valine is essential for antibody recognition.
