Supernatants from T-cell culture obtained from patients with ALD and age-matched normal donors (controls) were added to the Fas-mediated cell death assay at a final dilution of 1:4.
Cells used as targets in the Fas-mediated cell death assay. They were PHA-derived T-cell lines obtained from patients with ALD and normal controls as described in Materials and Methods.
Cells were incubated for 18 hours with control medium or anti-Fas MoAb (1 μg/mL). Then total cell survival was assessed by the trypan blue exclusion test. Results are expressed as percentage of cell survival.
