Abstract:Background: Among the current quality control assays used in islet transplantation, there is an urgent need
for more appropriate assays that measure cell damage via apoptosis that are accurate and rapid. Although
the Terminal Uridine Nucleotide End Labeling (TUNEL) is a popular marker for apoptosis, the protocol
takes 4 hours to complete. In this regard, microwave assisted histoprocessing, which shortens the time taken
for processing, holds promise. Keeping this in mind, a new TUNEL Microwave (TUNEL-MW) method… Show more
