Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a cytokine that induces apoptosis in various cell systems by binding to the TNF receptor (TNFR). To study TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis, we isolated and characterized a novel TNF-alpha-resistant variant, U937/TNF clone UA, from human monocytic leukemia U937 cells. The UA cells resist apoptosis induced by TNF-alpha and anti-Fas antibody but not by anticancer drugs, such as...
