Cellular death of activated lymphocytes down-regulates immune responses and is involved in maintaining self tolerance. Signals associated with ligation of the membrane molecule Fas lead to lymphocyte apoptosis, but additional, Fasindependent mechanisms have been postulated. Here, we show a marked ex

Fas receptor and tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNFR1) mediate the activation of acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to ceramide. Ceramide acts as a second messenger in mediating cell growth, differentiation, stress response, and apoptosis. Ultraviolet
We have studied the expression of two different tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNFR; 55 kDa and 75 kDa) on resting and activated human peripheral blood B lymphocytes using specific monoclonal antibodies (mAb). Flow cytometric analysis revealed that most resting B cells expressed small amounts of t
