## Abstract In higher eukaryotes there is a link between time of replication and transcription. It is generally accepted that genes that are actively transcribed are replicated in the first half of S phase while inactive genes replicate in the second half of S phase. We have recently reported that

โฆ Synopsis
Programmed cell death is an important anti-autoimmune mechanism used to delete autoreactive lymphocytes and to limit the spread both of viral infections and of tissue damage caused by immune responses. However, in autoimmune diseases, activation of programmed cell death by effector mechanisms that are similar to the normal immune response leads to augmented destruction of the targeted tissues.
