Life and death during lymphocyte development and function: evidence for two distinct killing mechanisms

A Strasser. Curr Opin Immunol. 1995 Apr.

Abstract

During their development and after their functional activation most lymphocytes die, either because they fail to receive a survival signal or because they are actively killed. Recent experiments on Bcl-2 and Fas/Apo-1 have provided evidence that these two death processes are subject to distinct genetic control.
