In this work we report on the development of a high-sensitivity instrumentation and protocol for detection of active caspase-3 in individual mammalian apoptotic cells. The technology is based on the specific cleavage of modified luciferin by caspase-3, an immediate bioluminescence reaction of free luciferin with luciferase followed by emissions of photons and their detection by photomultiplier tube working in the photon counting regime.
