Panel a: Purified B-lymphocytes from CLL patients (1×106/ml media) were incubated with either arsenic trioxide [ATO] (1μM), ascorbic acid (1mM), or with both agents together for the indicated time periods. The cells were stained with Annexin-V-FITC and propidium iodide and analyzed by flow cytometry and data collected under list mode. The data shown represent % Annexin-V-/PI- viable cells ± SD that are normalized to media control. (n=12)

Panel b: Purified B-lymphocytes from CLL patients (1×106/ml media) were incubated with 0.5, 1 and 2μM arsenic trioxide [ATO] in conjunction with indicated concentrations of ascorbic acid for 24 hours. The cells were stained with Annexin-V-FITC and propidium iodide and analyzed by flow cytometry and data collected under list mode. The data shown represent % Annexin-V-/PI- viable cells ± SD that are normalized to media control. (n=12; p<0.001).
