Absence of significant caspase-mediated intracellular proteolysis in WEHI-S cells exposed to low but lethal concentration of TNF. Equal amounts of protein from WEHI-S cells treated for indicated times with 0.1 or 50 ng/ml of rhTNF were analyzed for cleavage of caspase-7 or caspase substrates cPLA2 and Bid by immunoblot analysis. The arrowhead indicates a caspase cleavage product of cPLA2 (Wissing et al. 1997). Hsc70 serves as a loading control.
