Abstract excerpt
Fas is a cell-surface protein of 45 kDa. Binding of the Fas ligand (FasL) to Fas induces apoptosis in Fas-bearing cells. Analysis of mouse mutants in either Fas or FasL have indicated that the Fas system is involved in apoptosis of lymphocytes. To identify the cells expressing Fas, mouse spleen sections were analyzed by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Fas mRNA was detected in the T cells of the...
