'In the very early stages of target cell apoptosis induced by CTL, we found that fluorescence of labeling probes of the target plasma membrane, such as N-(3-triethylammoniumpropyl)-4-(p-dibutylaminostyryl)pyridin ium dibromide (FM1-43), was translocated into intracellular membrane structures including nuclear envelope and mitochondria. This translocation was associated with the execution of CTL-mediated ... More
