[CD4XL/CD3]-induced lymphocyte apoptosis is blocked by soluble Fas or by anti-FasL mAb.
Soluble Fas (sFas: closed circles) or 4H9 (closed squares) was added at the indicated concentrations (μg/mL) to the cultures of CD4 cross-linked T cells plus anti-CD3 mAb ([CD4XL/CD3]: open square), and apoptosis was evaluated by annexin V binding. Apoptotic populations of CD4XL alone (open circle) and/or anti-CD3/CD28 mAbs (open triangle) are also indicated. Data represent mean ± SD of 3 experiments. *Significantly (P < .001) different from CD4XL/CD3 samples.
