Dear Punetaa

check if Addgene (https://www.addgene.org/) has something that can work for you.

Addgene is a nonprofit plasmid repository that store and distribuite plasmid stored from other scientist

good luck

Hi Manuele Martinelli

I have already checked on Addgene and other such companies such as SinoBiological but unfortunately caspase-3 luciferase construct is nowhere available.

Leo Urmaza

Hello Puneeta,

Have you tried with Applied Biological Materials (ABM). They might have what you are looking for.
