Overview
TUNEL detects cells undergoing apoptosis. Please see the paper by Hensey & Gautier for the details. In our hands, we detect very few if any apoptotic cells during normal development in Xenopus tropicalis using this protocol. However, the protocol is effective in identifying apoptotic cells in embryos that are undergoing substantial apoptosis.
