I need a positive control to my caspase-1 activation assays in human monocytes-derived dendritic cells in culture.
Amanda Rocha You can use LPS alone and follow the below mentioned paper for exact protocol.

Hope that helps!
It is better to ask the supplier or the manufacturer.
Try to use LPS and ATP as these compound can induce inflammasome activation which induces caspase-1 activation.
