Abstract excerpt
Altered expression of the Fas-Fas ligand apoptotic pathway leads to lymphoproliferative and autoimmune diseases. In lpr/lpr mice and children with autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, defective apoptosis is due to Fas mutations. Large granular lymphocyte (LGL) leukemia is a clonal lymphoproliferative disorder associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Leukemic LGLs are resistant to Fas-dependent apoptosis despite...
