<Am interested in looking at caspase activation by flow. 
Looked into this a few years ago when doing westerns for caspase 
activation, and didn't seem to be monoclonals fluorochrome confugated 
for flow that were available and used and data published.
Does anyone have experience, information, references ? Any feedback 
would be great>

We have extensive experience with the use of activated (cleaved)
caspase-3 Ab. The polyclonal rabbit anti-caspase-3 Ab available from
Cell Signaling works very well. We used it both, in conventional assays
as well as in conjunction with ZENON  Molecular Probes technology. E.g.
see:  Pozarowski et al., Interactions of fluorochrome-labeled caspase
inhibitors with apoptotic cells. A caution in data interpretation.
Cytometry 55A: 50-60, 2003.
