Abstract excerpt
TRAIL (APO-2L) is a newly identified member of the TNF family and induces apoptosis in cancer cells without affecting most non-neoplastic cells, both in vitro and in vivo. Our study focused on the expression and function of TRAIL and its receptors in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cell lines of all major histological types. Here, we demonstrate that all RCC cell lines express TRAIL as well as the death-inducing...
