Fas-independent T-cell apoptosis by dendritic cells controls autoimmune arthritis in MRL/lpr mice.

<h4>Background</h4>Although autoimmunity in MRL/lpr mice occurs due to a defect in Fas-mediated cell death of T cells, the role of Fas-independent apoptosis in pathogenesis has rarely been investigated. We have recently reported that receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κB ligand (R...
