Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of death receptor signals by cellular FLIP
Martin Irmler,Margot Thome,Michael Hahne,Pascal Schneider,Kay Hofmann,Véronique Steiner,Jean-Luc Bodmer,Michael Schröter,Kim Burns,Chantal Mattmann,Donata Rimoldi,Lars E. French,Jürg Tschopp +12 more
TL;DR: The characterization of an inhibitor of apoptosis is reported, designated FLIP (for FLICE-inhibitory protein), which is predominantly expressed in muscle and lymphoid tissues and may be implicated in tissue homeostasis as an important regulator of apoptotic regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Fas (Apo-1, CD95)-Fas ligand interaction.
Pascal Schneider,Jean-Luc Bodmer,Nils Holler,Chantal Mattmann,Patricia Scuderi,Alexey Terskikh,Manuel C. Peitsch,Jürg Tschopp +7 more
TL;DR: Based on the structure of the closely related lymphotoxin α-tumor necrosis factor receptor I complex, a molecular model of the FasL homotrimer bound to three Fas molecules was generated using knowledge-based protein modeling methods and found that mutant Y218F could induce apoptosis in murine, but not human cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activated B cells express functional Fas ligand
Michael Hahne,Toufic Renno,Michael Schroeter,Martin Irmler,Lars E. French,Thierry Bornand,H. Robson MacDonald,Jürg Tschopp +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence that B lymphocytes can express FasL is provided and the data suggest that the Fas system may contribute to the control of B cell homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thyroiditis and hepatitis: Fas on the road to disease
Lars E. French,Jürg Tschopp +1 more
TL;DR: Fas-mediated programmed cell death contributes to the pathology of thyroiditis and hepatitis (pages 409–413).
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytotoxic T cells: more weapons for new targets?
Jürg Tschopp,Kay Hofmann +1 more
TL;DR: It is intriguing that this novel herpesvirus is thought to reside mainly in antigen-presenting B cells that may infiltrate the KS lesions, and could it be possible that this Novel Herpesvirus has also evolved a means of exploiting its host with a superantigen, or maybe it shares one?
