  1. Shown is the percentage of apoptotic cells after 40 h incubation as analyzed by relative DNA fragmentation assay
  2. Values are the mean ± SEM of independent determinations using cells from different donors. n = 6. *** indicates P < 0.001 as compared with the respective solvent control in the absence of trichostatin A and ## P < 0.01 as compared with the respective control in the absence of Fas. The concentration of Fas activating antibody was 100 ng/ml.
