Abstract excerpt
Activation of self-reactive CD8+ T cells induces a peripheral tolerance mechanism that involves loss of CD8 expression. Because genetic deficiency of Fas and Fasl causes the accumulation of double-negative (DN; CD3+ TCR-αβ+ CD4- CD8-) T cells that have been proposed to derive from CD8+ cells, we decided to explore the role of Fas and FasL in self-antigen-induced CD8 downregulation. To this end, we quantified Fas...
