To assess differences in cell death, it's important to check expression levels of anti or pro-apoptotic transcription factors. We routinely analyze BCL-2 levels in our immunoblotting samples when we observe decreases in cell death. BCL-2 is an anti-apoptotic transcription factor that plays a critical role in this process.
