TLDR
A flow cytometric method for measuring the percentage of apoptotic nuclei after propidium iodide staining in hypotonic buffer is developed and shown an excellent correlation with the results obtained with both electrophoretic and colorimetric methods.

Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) blocks influenza virus propagation via its NF-kappa B-inhibiting activity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that specific targeting of a cellular factor is a suitable approach for anti-influenza virus intervention and showed that the drug efficiently blocks influenza virus replication in vitro and in vivo.

Chloromethyl-X-Rosamine is an aldehyde-fixable potential-sensitive fluorochrome for the detection of early apoptosis.

TL;DR: Chloromethyl-X-rosamine (CMXRos) is shown to be a viable alternative to other delta psi m-sensitive probes, and that it allows for formaldehyde fixation of cells before analysis, and provides several methodological advantages over other, nonfixable fluorochromes used forDelta psi m determination.

Neisserial porin (PorB) causes rapid calcium influx in target cells and induces apoptosis by the activation of cysteine proteases

TL;DR: This work reports on the induction of programmed cell death after prolonged infection of epithelial cells with pathogenic Neisseria species, and proposes an underlying mechanism that includes translocation of the porin, a transient increase in cytosolic Ca2+ and subsequent activation of the Ca2+.

A study of the conditions and mechanism of the diphenylamine reaction for the colorimetric estimation of deoxyribonucleic acid

TL;DR: The present study arose from the observation that a more intense colour was sometimes produced if, instead of being heated at 1000 for 10 min., the reaction mixture was allowed to stand overnight at room temperature.

Cell death : the significance of apoptosis

TL;DR: It has proved feasible to categorize most if not all dying cells into one or the other of two discrete and distinctive patterns of morphological change, which have, generally, been found to occur under disparate but individually characteristic circumstances.

Practical Flow Cytometry

TL;DR: Using Flow Cytometers: Applications, Extensions, and Alternatives as mentioned in this paper is an excellent overview of the history of the field of Flow Sorting, its applications, extensions, and alternatives.

Monoclonal antibody-mediated tumor regression by induction of apoptosis

TL;DR: Histological thin sections of the regressing tumor showed that anti-APO-1 was able to induce apoptosis in vivo, suggesting induction of apoptosis as a consequence of a signal mediated through cell surface molecules like APO- 1 may be a useful therapeutic approach in treatment of malignancy.

Chromatin cleavage in apoptosis: association with condensed chromatin morphology and dependence on macromolecular synthesis.

TL;DR: The data confirm that the condensed chromatin which characterizes apoptosis morphologically consists of endogenously digested chromatin fragments, and provide support for the view that at least some cells enter apoptosis by a process dependent upon macromolecular synthesis.
