Abstract excerpt
Members of the tumour necrosis factor receptor family that contain a death domain have pleiotropic activities. They induce apoptosis via interaction with intracellular FADD/MORT1 and trigger cell growth or differentiation via TRADD and TRAF molecules. The impact of FADD/MORT1-transduced signals on T lymphocyte development was investigated in transgenic mice expressing a dominant negative mutant protein, FADD-DN....
