Testing the epithelial barriere with potentially hazardous compounds in an epithelian cell culture-transwell system, increased apoptosis rates may be induced. Please, has anyone experience, how the transepithelial resistance (TER) to monitor the quality of the barriere correlates with apoptosis. I guess that a moderate increase of apoptosis may not affect TER significantly but massive incerase.
