These aren't equivalent unless the @property is assign, which usually is not what you want for object instvars that you intend to own.

@property (readwrite, retain) protoCell;

_protoCell = [[Cell alloc] init];
self.protoCell = [[[Cell alloc] init] autorelease];
self.protoCell = [foo somethingThatReturnsAProtoCell]; // since getters generally do not provide a retained object; see earlier discussions today :)

self.protoCell = nil;
[_protoCell release]; _protoCell = nil;
