  1. a The number of apoptotic bodies were was determined by counting 1,000 cells from each of 3 independent hematoxylin stained slides.
  2. b Significant difference between pSiAR-EGFP and pSiCon-EGFP transfected cells (p < 0.05).
  3. c Apoptotic body indices were calculated after normalizing to transfection efficiency.
