DNA laddering can be detected from samples with only 8% apoptotic cells. Alternatively, the cells can be stained with DAPI and analysed by flow cytometry. CellDeath.de - [Read DNA laddering assay for treated cells]
Lysis in the sucrose-containing Buffer ("Mito-Buffer") is supposed to prevent accidential disrupture of the mitochondria to prevent the leakage of mitochondrial proteins (such as cytochrome c) into the cytosol. Celldeath.de - [Read Gentle lysis of mammalian cells for cytochrome c release assay]
DNA Fragmentation Assay allows determination of the amount of DNA that is degraded upon treatment of cells with treatment of apoptotic agents. Celldeath.de - [Read Radioactive DNA Fragmentation Assay]
