Use of Fluorochrome-Labeled Inhibitors of Caspases to Detect Neuronal Apoptosis in the Whole-Mounted Lamprey Brain after Spinal Cord Injury

Figure 1

Schematic drawing illustrating how the FLICA method allows labeling of live cells that have activated caspases. Unbound FLICA reagent is washed out during the washing process (left side), whereas it attaches covalently to active caspases (right side).
