. The broad action of the phosphatases inhibited by this universal apoptogen has made it difficult to pinpoint the relevant molecular targets, and mechanisms involved in OA induced apoptosis(1,2,3,4). Retroviral cDNA-library expression cloning technique (5) report the isolation of more than twenty OA resistant cell clones, and characterisation of two of them reveals that the approach can produce OA resistant cell clones to be used as important tools to investigate mechanisms of apoptosis induced by serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitors.
