[Mercury ions inhibit human neutrophil apoptosis induced by ultraviolet C irradiation].
The action of ultraviolet C (UVC) and mercury ions (HgCl2) on human neutrophil apoptosis was investigated by flow cytometry. It is shown that HgCl2 (5-10 microM) inhibits UVC-dependent acceleration of neutrophil apoptosis but does not inhibit spontaneous apoptosis.
