Abstract excerpt
To investigate the mechanism by which presenilin (PS) overexpression induces apoptosis, we studied the effects of these proteins on cell cycle progression. Transiently transfected HeLa cells were bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) labeled to visualize DNA synthesis by immunofluorescence and stained with propidium iodide to measure DNA content by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). BrdU labeling was decreased in...
