Functional dissection of the HNF-1alpha transcription factor: a study on nuclear localization and transcriptional activation.

abstract：:A variety of human cancer cells are resistant to Fas ligand and anti-Fas antibody induced apoptosis. Previously, we reported that human gastric carcinoma cell lines were resistant to the anti-Fas antibody, CH-11, without interferon-gamma pretreatment in vitro. Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 is known to be expressed in many hu...
