Abstract excerpt
The anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 functions as a crucial negative regulator of apoptosis. Bcl-2 has been shown to prevent the efflux of apoptogenic factors from mitochondria to cytosol, thus inhibiting cell death. Here, we show the susceptibility of a spontaneously regressing, rat histiocytic tumor cell line, AK-5, to the apoptotic effects of diverse stimuli and the ability of Bcl-2 overexpression to block cell...
