## Abstract We examined the apoptosis of tongue carcinoma cells and the effects of anticancer drugs to identify the molecules that mediate apoptotic cascade in the malignancy. Carboplatin (CBDCA) induced apoptosis of SCC‐9 and SCC‐25, human well‐differentiated tongue squamous carcinoma cell lines.
CD95(APO-1/Fas) ligand (CD95L) gene expression is critically involved in activation-induced T cell apoptosis. We and other have previously shown that HIV-1 Tat which is essential for efficient HIV gene expression sensitizes CD95-mediated apoptosis and up-regulates CD95L expression in T cells. In the
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can induce uncontrolled B lymphocyte proliferation leading to fatal lymphoma in immunocompromised patients. The sensitivity to apoptosis of B lymphoid cell lines (LCL) derived from EBV-induced lymphoproliferative disorders was investigated. In vitro and in vivo, these B LCL
