Abstract excerpt
Cells can respond differently to anti-CD95 antibody treatment. Type I cells show strong activation of caspase-8 and directly activate caspase-3. Type II cells weakly activate caspase-8 and must amplify their death signal through the mitochondria. These cells can be rescued by Bcl-x(L). Here we show that tumor necrosis factor-alpha induces both Type I and II pathways, which can be inhibited by...
