Patent number: 11618916Abstract: A probe for measuring the activity of caspase-1 according to the present disclosure can specifically image cells or tissues where inflammatory response is induced because it is cleaved by reacting specifically with the active caspase-1 enzyme in vivo and in vitro and re-emits fluorescence. The probe for measuring the activity of caspase-1 can be used for various purposes, such as for imaging of cells or tissues where inflammatory response is induced, as a drug carrier, for screening of a drug inhibiting inflammatory response, etc. The probe for measuring the activity of caspase-1 is applicable both in vivo and in vitro, and can be used for various applications such as high-throughput screening for new drug development, early diagnosis of diseases, etc.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2019Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignees: Korea Institute of Science and Technology, Seoul National University R&DB FoundationInventors: Ick Chan Kwon, Ju Hee Ryu, Young-Ji Ko, Hye-Sun Kim, Nam-Hyuk Cho, Eun-Jeong Yang, Jae Won Lee
