Various cell types were incubated with or without 1 or 2 μmol/L As2O3 for 24 or 72 hours. After this treatment, the percentage of total cells demonstrating an increase in the mitochondrial ΔΨm, ROS, CD11b expression and annexin-V or PI staining was determined by flow cytometry, as described in the text.

Data represent the mean of 2 experiments performed in duplicate.

ROS, reactive oxygen species.
