Abstract:Members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily are crucially involved in the regulation of T cell activation, homeostasis and cytotoxicity. In particular, Fas ligand (FasL), expressed by activated T lymphocytes, induces cell-mediated cytotoxicity and may also be responsible for apoptotic suicide. Tight regulation of this death-inducing ligand is a prerequisite for proper immune defense and homeostasis. In this review, we will discuss various aspects of FasL regulation in cell-mediated cytotoxicity, immune homeostasis and the immunopathology of diseases.
