Fig. 3. Thiopental is independent of CD95-induced apoptosis. Jurkat cells (1 × 106/ml) were preincubated with ( shaded bars ) or without ( white bars ) an inhibitory anti-CD95 antibody (SM1/23; 500 ng/ml) 1 h before stimulation with thiopental (250 μg/ml) and/or an agonistic anti-CD95 antibody (CH11; 100 ng/ml) for 24 h. Data are reported as the percentage of apoptotic (Annexin-V–positive, propidium iodine–negative) cells ( A ) or secondary necrotic (Annexin-V–positive, propidium iodine–positive) cells ( B ). Results represent the mean ± SD of five separate experiments. Student t test: * P < 0.05 with versus without thiopental; † P < 0.05 with versus without anti-CD95; # P < 0.05 with versus without SM1/23.
