Protocol to purify recombinant inflammatory caspases and assess their catalytic activity in vitro

Summary: The inflammatory caspases, such as caspase-1, caspase-4, or caspase-11, are key enzymes in mammalian innate immunity as they control inflammasome-dependent inflammation. Assessing the specific proteolytic activities of these caspases in the context of a cell remains challenging, which is wh...
