Abstract excerpt
Activation-induced cell death is mediated by the TCR-induced expression of the Fas ligand (FasL) on the surface of T cells, followed by binding to its receptor Fas. FasL expression is induced by stimulating T cells with a combination of phorbol ester and Ca2+ ionophore, implicating a role for protein kinase C (PKC) in this process. However, the precise mechanisms that regulate FasL expression, including the...
