abstract：:Fas (APO-1/CD95) consists mainly of 2 isoforms, membrane-anchored (mFas) and soluble (sFas), both of which can mediate apoptosis through the Fas-signalling process, not only in normal but also in leukemia T-cells. This suggests that aberrant expression of either mFas or sFas may affect the natural history of T-cell ne...
