## Abstract Tβcell depletion is found in enterovirus 71 (EV71)βinfected patients with pulmonary edema. However, the mechanism that causes Tβcell depletion is unclear. To address this question, the effects of EV71 infection on the cell viability of human Jurkat T cells were studied. Viable viruses w

Fas, (APO-1/CD95), a transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the tumor necrosis (TNF) receptor superfamily, transduces apoptotic death upon crosslinking by its cognate ligand (FasL). As upregulation of Fas/FasL expression occurs in neuropathological conditions (e.g., stroke, central nervous system [
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
