Caspase-3 and xIAP under normal and simulated SEBconditions. (a) Caspase-3 potential solutions where a peak in expression occurs at 4.65 ± 0.18 hours. (b) xIAP potential solutions where the protein is either constitutively expressed or simply positively expressed after t = 0. (c) Simulated potential solutions for caspase-3, where the rate of synthesis is increased from 4.65 hours. Note that the level of expression can fluctuate with an increased rate. (d) Simulated potential solutions for xIAP, where the protein has negative expression levels after t = 0. The multiple dashed lines for each plot represent the various degrees of potential protein levels that can occur, while maintaining the expected pattern.
