Table I.

Model parameters estimated from a simultaneous analysis of experiments on apoptosis induction in rat fibroblasts by externally added signalling species (Figure 2 and Supplementary Material, available at Carcinogenesis Online) and from model adaptation to intercellular induction of apoptosis by the HOCl pathway in the coculture system with transformed and non-transformed cells (Figure 3)
