Thank you very much. I agree that apoptosis is specific style of 
death and there are many hallmarks in the apoptotic cell. My 
question is that after concentration of drug which should not 
induce apoptosis is enough to kill cell, there must be 
phosphatidyserine exposure on the outer member leaflet and DNA 
fragment because of the release of nucleases. It seemed to be 
confirmed by my experiment. For example, puromycin can kill 
leukemia cell line, and it should not induce apoptosis of the cell 
line. However, the experiment showed that there was clear DNA 
fragment and positive result with  phosphatidyserine exposure on 
the outer member leaflet after puromycine treatment. Maybe, 
puromycin can induce the apoptosis of the cell ?  And is it 
necessary to identify the two kind of apoptosis ?

by the way, why do not I post my article directly the the bbs?
