Abstract

During mammalian development, many cells are programmed to die most mediated by apoptosis. The Fas antigen coded by the structural gene for mouse lymphoproliferation mutation (lpr), is a cell surface protein belonging to the tumour necrosis factor/nerve growth factor receptor family, and mediates apoptosis. The Fas antigen messenger RNA is expressed in the thymus, liver, heart, lung and ovary. We prepared a monoclonal antibody against mouse Fas antigen, which immunoprecipitated the antigen (M(r) 45K) and had cytolytic activity against cell lines expressing mouse Fas antigen. We report here that staining of mouse thymocytes with the antibody indicated that thymocytes from the wild-type and lprcg mice expressed the Fas antigen, whereas little expression of the Fas antigen was found in lpr mice. Intraperitoneal administration of the anti-Fas antibody into mice rapidly killed the wild-type mice but neither lpr nor lprcg mice. Biochemical, histological and electron microscope analyses indicated severe damage of the liver by apoptosis. These findings suggest that the Fas antigen is important in programmed cell death in the liver, and may be involved in fulminant hepatitis in some cases.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Fas-mediated apoptosis is also reduced, as judged by using the monoclonal antibody Jo2 that recognizes and activates the Fas receptor and induces hepatic apoptosis, or by using ethanol gavage in mice, a system that mimics binge drinking in humans and triggers FasL-induced hepatocyte apoptosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
