Methods： The target cells-leukaemia cell lines and activated peripheral blood lymphocytes stimulated by phytohemagglutinin were incubated with recombinant human Fas ligand for 6 to 36 h, apoptosis was detected by sub-G1, common annexin-Ⅴ/PI and modified annexin Ⅴ and propidium iodide （API） methods and analysed by flow cytometry. Results： The modified API method demonstrated that Fas-mediated apoptosis was cell cycle specific and initiated at G1 phase. The common annexinⅤ/PI method showed the most appropriate condition for the detection of typical cell cycle-specific apoptosis. The sub-G1 method could only illuminate late apoptosis and DNA histogram. Conclusion： Fas-mediated apoptosis was cell cycle-specific and initiated at G 1 phase. Based on the modified API and common AnnexinⅤ/PI methods, the establishment of stable and typical cell cycle-specific model in Fas-mediated apoptosis in vitro was feasible.展开更多
