Abstract excerpt
Fas (APO-1/CD95) is a 45-kDa membrane protein which regulates apoptosis in many lymphoid cell types. In the present study, FAS expression was examined in primary leukemic cells from infants with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The cells were resistant to apoptosis induction by an anti-FAS antibody and expressed nearly undetectable amounts of FAS protein. Molecular analysis of FAS transcripts in these cells...
