As most of our work is in immunology, this model system works well for us.
However, every cellular system seems to apoptose a little differently. I
have especially found differences in the kinetics of apoptosis. Some cells
die very quickly, some take longer. So how this model will apply to your
kerotinocyte system is unknown to me. I have also found that some apoptosis
detection methods described in the literature are not appropriate methods
due to the treatment of the cells to induce apoptosis. For instance, a
method that utilizes changes in membrane (HO342, 7AAD) cannot be used in
systems where cells are stimulated with PMA and ionophore.
Anyway, good luck and have fun.
