Caspase 3 chemiluminiscence activity determination in apoptotic cells and design of Caspase 3 sensor

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is an essential physiological process that plays a critical role in development of tumor or autoimmune disorders. In some instances knowledges of this pathway can be used for inhibit or prevent cancer development and other diseases. One of the earliest and most consistent observed features of apoptosis is the induction of a series of cytosolic proteases – caspases
