NF kappa B controls the balance between Fas and tumor necrosis factor cell death pathways during T cell receptor-induced apoptosis via the expression of its target gene A20.

Abstract excerpt

Activation-induced cell death (AICD), a term originally coined for the anti-CD3-induced apoptosis of T cell hybridomas and thymocytes, is predominantly driven by death receptors and has been involved in the control of autoreactive T cells in the periphery. In the Do-11.10 T cell hybridoma model of AICD, activation of the T cell receptor (TCR) results in Fas-dependent apoptosis. Here, we show that inhibition of...
