Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Fas-induced apoptosis is one of the main forms of apoptosis occurring in hepatocytes. We have previously demonstrated that the human hepatoma cell line Hep3B is resistant to Fas-mediated apoptosis. In this study, we investigated whether the human Fas receptor itself, or the Fas transduction pathway was responsible for the resistant phenotype. METHODS: Clones of Hep3B cells overexpressing the...
