Description

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated cytotoxicity constitutes an important component of specific effector mechanisms in immunosurveillance against virus-infected or -transformed cells. Two mechanisms appear to account for this activity, one of which is the perforin-based process. Independently, a FAS-based mechanism involves the transducing molecule FAS (APO-1) and its ligand (FAS-L). The human FAS (APO-1) protein is a 48 kDa cell surface glycoprotein that belongs to a family of receptors that includes CD40, nerve growth factor receptors and tumor necrosis factor receptors. The FAS antigen is expressed on a broad range of lymphoid cell lines, and is expressed at high levels in T cells subsequent to crosslinking of the T cell receptor (TCR). A previously undescribed protein, TDAG51, restores activation- induced apoptosis in cells that have lost the ability to display Fas in response to activation.
