Detecting Tumor Apoptosis

  • Are You Killing the Tumor?

  •  Use FLIVO Polycaspase Live! to monitor the efficacy of chemotherapy. 

  • If your treatment induces apoptosis in tumor cells, it is probably effective at killing the tumor. Let FLIVO™ guide you to the most effective treatment within hours of administration. more

Detecting Neuron Apoptosis

  • Need to Assess Neurodegeneration?

  • Use FLIVO Poly Caspase Live! to label dying apoptotic neurons.

  • FLIVO crosses the blood-brain barrier and enters neurons. If the neuron is apoptotic and has active caspases, the neuron will fluoresce red or green. more.

Image 1: details: These pictures were taken through a window chamber of 1 live breast cancer tumor growing inside a mouse. Before any treatment was administered, Ploycaspase Live!, green was injected into the mouse to determine how many of the tumor cells were apoptotic: caspase-positive cells turned green, caspase-negative cells were dark. The first picture (A) was taken 45 minutes after Polycaspase Live!, green was injected. Very few of the cells turned green, indicating that most of the tumor is living. The mouse was then injected with a drug (arsenic trioxide, ATO) for 3 hours.Ploycaspase Live!, green was again injected into the mouse, and the second picture (B) was taken 45 minutes later showing the effectiveness of the drug in killing the tumor.

Image 2 details: Apoptosis was revealed in subventricular cells of a rat brain after in vivo labeling with Ploycaspase Live!, green. Caspase-positive cells fluoresce bright green. Reagents was injected directly into the ventricle of a live rat brain (gray image, red arrow), the animal was sacrificed and imaged.
