A previous report indicated that a threading dislocation density above 107 cm−2 for a 900-nm-thick epilayer decreased to 106 cm−2 due to the self-annihilation of dislocations when the film thickness was increased to more than 4 μm for a III-V epilayer deposited on a Si substrate [8, 18].
Furthermore, while a previous report indicated that tumoral Jurkat cells are very sensitive to apoptin-mediated killing (Maddika et al. 2005), observed resistance of Jurkat cells to the apoptin in our study could be due to the lack of CD22 antigen on the surface of these cells.
