Abstract excerpt
Defective expression of the Fas apoptotic gene may account for overproduction of CD4- CD8- B220+ cells (double-negative) in MRL/MpJ-lpr/lpr (lpr) mice. Previous studies have shown that calorie restriction (CR) inhibits the development of autoimmune disease and extends life span in these animals. The present studies describe the effects of CR on the distribution of lymphocyte phenotypes, lymphocyte proliferative...
