Abstract excerpt
Caspase 8 is a key apoptotic factor in the receptor/ligand apoptosis-signaling cascade. Absent caspase 8 expression is shown to correlate with poor prognosis in neuroblastoma. Paradoxically, the caspase 8 gene can produce as plice variant and novel inhibitor of itself-caspase 8l. The presence of caspase 8 alone in tumors may not necessarily portend a good prognosis. We sought to determine whether caspase 8l is...
