Fig. 4. Immunohistochemical staining of lung tumor tissues for induction of apoptosis using TUNEL assay (A); for expression of cleaved caspase-3 (B); quantitation of apoptotic cells from TUNEL staining (C); and quantitation of caspase-3 positive cells apoptotic cells (D).
Percentages of TUNEL-positive and cleaved caspase 3-positive cells were quantitated by counting 100 cells from 6 random microscopic fields. Data are expressed as mean+SD (N = 6). One-way ANOVA followed by post Tukey test was used for statistical analysis to compare control and treated groups. P<0.01 (*, significantly different from untreated controls; **, significantly different from single treatments). Original magnification ×40 (Micron bar = 100 μm).
