A competitive RT-PCR method for the quantitative analysis of cytokine mRNAs in mouse tissues.

abstract：:Murine fibrosarcoma L929 cells were transfected with human Fas cDNA. The mode of cell death was analysed following treatment either with tumour necrosis factor (TNF) or with agonistic antibodies to Fas. While triggering of the TNF receptors led to necrosis, clustering of the Fas antigen resulted in apoptotic cell deat...
