ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the detection of apoptotic cells using a novel assay that employs ligation of DNA fragments in situ to selectively label apoptotic cells. The assay may be used in combination with known in situ methodologies to simultaneously detect apoptotic cells and specific biomolecules present in the apoptotic cell.
