Background and Objectives: Fas (APO-1) induces apoptosis after binding Fas ligand (FasL). Evidence suggests that tumors may use this interaction to evade the host immune response. Fas/FasL expression has not been reported in esophageal cancer. We hypothesized that Fas expression would render esophag
CD95/APO-1 ligand (FasL) is implicated in the maintenance of immune privileged sites by inducing apoptosis of activated infiltrating T lymphocytes. Therefore, progressive tumors might express high levels of FasL and develop as immune privileged sites. In this study, we investigated the expression of
