Target Information

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 is the perforin-based process, and the other is the FAS-based mechanism involving 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 including CD40, nerve growth factor receptors, and tumor necrosis factor receptors. The FAS antigen is expressed on a broad range of lymphoid cell lines and at high levels in T cells after 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.
