Apoptosis

Hello, everyone:

I have two questions re: apoptosis that came up during a recent consult on
the subject.

1.  What is the best positive control to use; i.e., an easy-to-grow cell
line that can be reliably and predictably induced into apoptosis?  (I seem
to recall a thread on this question some time ago, but I couldn't find it
in the archives.)

2.  How should one pronounce "apoptosis"?  When I first heard the term
(probably 10 years ago), the second "p" was silent (A-pO-tO-sis).  Since
then, I have increasingly heard the second "p" pronounced (A-pop-tO-sis).
And, I can't find the word in a dictionary.

Thanks in advance,
Rick Meister
