Abstract excerpt
The Fas/FasL system mediates induced apoptosis of immature thymocytes and peripheral T lymphocytes, but little is known about its implication in genetic susceptibility to T-cell malignancies. In this article, we report that the expression of FasL increases early in all mice after gamma-radiation treatments, maintaining such high levels for a long time in mice that resisted tumor induction. However, its expression...
