Wikipedia
Uniprot Q14790

CASP-8 is a cysteine protease that functions as an activator of effector caspases and is involved in apoptosis. In the immune system it is also involved in activation of T, B, and NK cells and macrophage differentiation, and CASP-8 deficiency has been related to immunodeficiency.

Sample type

Recommended sample types are EDTA plasma and serum. A range of additional sample types are compatible with the technology (PEA), including citrate plasma, heparin plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, (CSF), tissue and cell lysates, fine needle biopsis, microdialysis fluid, cell culture media, dried blood spots, synovial fluid, saliva, plaque extract and microvesicles. Please note that protein expression levels are expected to vary in different sample types. Certain assays are differentially affected by interfering substances such as hemolysate.

Analytical Measuring Range

Please note: the technical data reported below refers to the measured value in the in vitro validation assays. The calibrator curve below shows the performance of the assay with the estimated sensitivity and dynamic range parameters indicated. These curves are generated during the assay validation process using recombinant antigens. Please note that when analyzing biological samples the data generated will be given in the form of relative quantification (NPX values) and cannot be converted to absolute protein concentrations. For more info about NPX measurements, please visit our FAQ page (https://www.olink.com/question/what-is-npx).

Precision

- Within run precision Coefficient of Variation (CV)
- 7%
- Between run precision Coefficient of Variation (CV)
- 22%

Precision (repeatability) is calculated from linearized NPX values over LOD.
