## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Tumorβinfiltrating, Fas ligand (FasL)βexpressing lymphocytes are able to eliminate Fasβbearing tumor cells by apoptosis induction. Activated cytotoxic Tβcells that express Fas may enter apoptosis in the presence of FasL tumor cells. To date, no studies of patients with te
Objective. To examine the expression of FasIFas ligand and the role of this ligand/receptor interaction in the regulation of apoptosis in normal human articular chondrocytes and in osteoarthritis (OA) cartilage. Methods. Normal and OA human knee cartilage and cells isolated from these tissues were
