Untreated thymus is a great tissue.

Dear all--

Can anyone suggest a good tissue to use as a positive control for
apoptosis?  We've considered liver and testes but as nearly as I can find
from the literature, the proportion of apoptotic cells in those organs in
naive rats is pretty small.  Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
