Fig. 6. Bax is not recruited to non-irradiated mitochondria following partial
irradiation. Cells were either subjected to partial irradiation (Irr) after
labelling with CMXRos or treated with staurosporine (STS; 0.5 µM for 24
hours), or neither, before being fixed and stained with anti-Bax antibody. The
photoirradiated cell was subjected to intensive laser scanning in its lower
half (as oriented in this image; cf. Fig.
1) and fixed at 75 minutes after irradiation. Other cells
partially irradiated were fixed for Bax staining at 30-150 minutes following
irradiation. Bax translocation (Bax Trans) to mitochondria was visualised by
confocal microscopy and scored as the percentage of the total number
(n) of cells analysed in each treatment. Bars, 10 µm.
