초록

Plasma membrane blebs are observed in many types of apoptotic cells, but their processes of formation remain to be clarified. In the present study, we investigated whether there is a relationship between change of intracellular phosphotyrosine levels and biochemical apoptotic events in Jurkat T cells undergoing apoptosis by agonistic anti-Fas antibody. When Jurkat cells were treated with Fas-antibody in the presence or absence of pretreatment with sodium orthovanadate ($Na_3${VO}_4$), a phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) inhibitor, membrane blebs disappeared in orthovanadate-treated cells.
