Abstract excerpt
One of the mechanisms to terminate a specific immune response may involve elimination of antigen activated T cells by programmed cell death, apoptosis. Apoptosis in activated T cells may be induced via the TCR-CD3 complex or/and cell surface molecules like the APO-1 (Fas) antigen, a new member of the nerve growth factor/tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily. To investigate apoptosis in activated T cells we...
