Fas ligand (FasL) kills sensitive Fas receptor (FasR)-bearing cells by inducing apoptosis. FasL expressed by non-lymphoid cells within the eye and the testis mediates immune privilege by inducing apoptosis of Fas-sensitive infiltrating pro-inflammatory immune effector cells. It has previously been d

## Abstract The causative agents of Lyme disease, __Borrelia burgdorferi__ s.s., __B.โ€„garinii__, and __B.โ€„afzelii__, differ in their susceptibility to complementโ€mediated lysis. This phenomenon apparently depends on the expression of proteins termed complement regulatorโ€acquiring surface proteins (
