Abstract excerpt
Mice homozygous for the Fasl(gld/gld) mutation cannot initiate apoptosis via the Fas/Fasl pathway and develop an autoimmune disease characterized by the accumulation of CD4(-)/CD8(-) (DN) T cells and a progressive T cell anergy. These DN T cells express a high-molecular-weight isoform of the membrane PTPase CD45 (B220). We have produced a Fasl(gld/gld) mouse strain with only one functional CD45 allele (CD45(+/-),...
