Inducing apoptosis of activated lymphocytes via Fas ligand (FasL, CD95) may be a useful strategy for the treatment of autoimmune diseases mediated by pathogenic T cells. We propose that B cells may be ideal tools for effective delivery of a FasL-mediated apoptotic signal to pathogenic T cells for a
In this study we show that the retinal autoantigen, S-antigen, contains a functional TNF- § homologous domain which stimulates maturation and differentiation of cultured dendritic cells (DC) or tissue DC via the p55 TNF- § receptor. Tissue DC became more dendritiform in shape, and migrated into cult
