To simply and directly evaluate DNA fragmentation during apoptosis induced in mouse cultured hepatocytes by an anti‐Fas antibody, we examined the fluorescence intensity in cell nuclei stained with ethidium bromide and 4′‐6‐diamidino‐2‐phenyhndole by optiphoto fluorescence microscopy. The intensity of the former staining for the nuclear DNA of apoptotic cells was clearly decreased compared to that of non‐apoptotic cells, whereas no difference in the fluorescence intensity for the latter stain between the apoptotic and non‐apoptotic groups was observed. Thus, the use of optiphoto fluorescence microscopy, in conjunction with both stains, constitutes a useful tool for the evaluation of apoptotic DNA fragmentation.
