Cytochemical Methods for the Detection of Apoptosis

Open access
Willingham, Mark C.·1999·Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry

Abstract

Detection of apoptotic cell death in cells and tissues has become of paramount importance in many fields of modern biology, including studies of embryonic development, degenerative disease, and cancer biology. In addition to methods that employ biochemical analysis of large populations of cells, cytochemical methods have recently been extensively used both in individual cells and in tissues. Most of these methods exploit properties of dying cells that are more or less specific for the apoptotic process. However, considerable confusion exists over the interpretation of some of these methods and their usefulness in all settings. This review attempts to summarize the more recent advances in cytochemical detection of apoptosis and emphasizes some of the pitfalls that confuse the interpretation of results of these methods.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
