Spontaneous Apoptosis in Lymphocytes From Patients With Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome: Correlation of Accelerated Cell Death and Attenuated Bcl-2 Expression
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an X-linked recessive disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia, eczema, and a progressive deterioration of immune function. WAS is caused by mutations in an intracellular protein, WASP, that is involved in signal transduction and regulation of actin cytoskeleton rearrangement. Because immune dysfunction in WAS may be due to an accelerated destruction of lymphocytes, we examined...
