Abstract
PARP-angel of death. The PARP-1 enzyme is either inactivated or activated depending on whether a cell dies via apoptosis or necrosis (see scheme). This differential processing of PARP-1 can now be used as a rapid, sensitive, and convenient method to distinguish apoptotic from necrotic cell death, and is even applied to quantitate necrosis in bulk tissue from a pig in which a hemorrhagic shock was induced.
