A noncomitogenic CD2R monoclonal antibody induces apoptosis of activated T cells by a CD95/CD95-L-dependent pathway.
Clonal expansion of activated T and B cells is controlled by homeostatic mechanisms resulting in apoptosis of a large proportion of activated cells, mostly through interaction between CD95 (Fas or Apo-1) receptor and its ligand CD95-L. CD2, which is considered as a CD3/TCR alternative pathway of T c...
