We investigated the cytotoxicity mechanisms of alloantigen-specific human CD4(+) and CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) using cells from family members with the Fas gene mutation. Alloantigen-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) CTL bulk lines and clones were generated from 2 individuals by stimulation of their peripheral blood lymphocytes with allogeneic Fas(-/-) or Fas(+/-) cell lines that were established from...
