Proteases that are members of the caspase (or interleukin-1␤cessing of interleukin-1␤. [11][12][13] Overexpression of either CED-3 converting enzyme (ICE)) protease family have been shown to or caspase-1 was found to induce apoptosis in Rat-1 fibroblast be important mediators of apoptosis induced by Fas activation, cells. 14 Recent studies have led to the identification and clonneurotrophic factor withdrawal, and detachment from extraing of at least 10 members of the caspase protease family, cellular matrix. In this report we have investigated the potential caspase-1 to caspase-10. 15,16,9 Members of this family exhibit
