Abstract excerpt
The Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) pathway has been largely implicated in the homeostasis of mature cells. However, it is still unclear whether it plays a role at the progenitor level. To address this issue, we created chimeric mice by transferring C57BL/6 bone marrow (BM) cells of the lpr (Fas-FasL+) or gld (Fas+FasL-) genotype into Rag-2-/- hosts of the same genetic background. In this model, the consequences of a...
