Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis induced by effector cells of the immune system or by cytotoxic drugs is a main mechanism mediating the prevention or elimination of tumoral cells. For instance, the human T-cell leukemia Jurkat is sensitive to Fas-induced apoptosis and to activation-induced cell death (AICD), and the promonocytic leukemia U937 is sensitive to Fas- and TNF-induced apoptosis. In this work, we have analyzed the mechanisms...
