Allele-specific PCR analysis for detection of the gld Fas-ligand point mutation.

Abstract excerpt

The discovery of a naturally occurring missense point mutation in the gene encoding Fas-ligand (FasL/CD95L) in generalized lymphoproliferative disease (gld) mice has lead to the characterization of FasL as an important mediator of apoptosis. Further analysis of FasL function can be facilitated by crossing the gld mutation onto other mouse-strains, for example those carrying mutations affecting other molecules...
