as you know Jc1 mitochondrial membrane potential is a ratiometry assay so i want to know when can i say that the results are significant and there is apoptosis
The mitochondrial depolarization that is detected with the fluorescent probe JC-1 is an early event of cells that eventually develop apoptosis. But this depolarization does not always trigger cell death, it could be a transitory process in which there can be mitoncondrial selection as a defense mechanism against moderate levels of reactive oxygen species.
