Standard Western blotting was carried as described previously (7 (link)). PARP, caspase-8, caspase-3, TRAIL-R2, and Bid antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology, cIAP1 from Enzo, FADD from BD Biosciences, FLIP antibody from AdipoGen, and β-actin from Sigma. For absolute quantification of FLIP and caspase-8, images were captured using an Odyssey Imaging System (LICOR) at 12-bit dynamic range. Quantification of protein expression amounts was conducted as described previously using recombinant proteins and a HeLa cell line standard (8 (link)).
