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

Fas-mediated apoptosis is a form of cell death that operates through a Fas-Fas ligand (FasL) interaction. In this study we investigated the role of the Fas system during development of normal and Fas-mutated lymphocytes. Irradiated RAG2 -/-recipients were reconstituted with bone marrow cells from B6
Apoptosis induced through the TCR in CD4+ T cells is mostly mediated by the inducible expression of Fas ligand (FasL) as a primary event leading to the commitment to death. To gain a better understanding of the transcriptional events that regulate this expression, we took advantage of our previously
