Caspase 3 expression - (Aug/07/2011 )

Does anyone knows if Squamous cell carcinoma (SQ2), murine Breast adenocarcinoma (4T1) and murine pancreatic cells (Panc02)express caspase 3? where can I check it?

Surely all cell types express caspase to some extent for induction of apoptosis. I don't think it is ever inactivated at all, just the pathway is inactivated (though I wouldn't quote me on that).
