Abstract excerpt
The Fas (CD95) antigen plays a key role in regulating T-cell activation and survival. We have generated a Fas-resistant subclone of the human T-cell leukaemia line, H9, which is still able to undergo apoptosis in response to T-cell receptor ligation. Molecular analyses revealed that resistance to Fas-mediated apoptosis was due to a heterozygous mutation in the death domain of the Fas gene which generates a stop...
