Abstract excerpt
Mice transgenic for the rat HER-2/neu oncogene (rNeu-TG) developed spontaneous breast tumors that can escape a rNeu-specific immune response induced by active specific immunotherapy (ASI). The ability of these escape tumors to grow appeared to be due to upregulation of the Fas ligand (Fas-L) molecule. In an effort to develop tools for the better elucidation of the role of Fas-L and other regulatory mechanisms in...
