Abstract excerpt
Expression of the reaper gene (rpr) correlates with the initiation of apoptosis in Drosophila melanogaster. Transient expression of rpr in the lepidopteran SF-21 cell line induced apoptosis displaying nuclear condensation and fragmentation, oligonucleosomal ladder formation, cell surface blebbing...
