Abstract excerpt
The BH3-only protein Bim is required for maintaining the homeostasis of the immune system, since Bim regulates the down-modulation of T-cell responses, mainly through cytokine deprivation. Using T-cell blasts from healthy donors and also from patients with autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndromes (ALPSs) due to homozygous loss-of-function mutation of FasL (ALPS-Ic) or heterozygous mutation in the Fas/CD95 death...
