Characterization of Fc epsilon RI gamma in human natural killer cells.

abstract：:The ability of Bcl-2 to inhibit apoptotic cell death is well established. Several homologues of the bcl-2 gene, such as bax, bcl-x or mcl-1, have recently been identified. Like Bcl-2, both Bcl-XL and Mcl-1 appear to function as repressors of apoptotic cell death, whereas Bax facilitates it, indicating possible interac...
