To inves-tigate the molecular basis that underlies the resistance to Fas- induced apoptosis, the resistant cells ... resultsshowed that a decrease in Fas expression was the mostprominent reason for resistance, and that the reintro-duction of Fas expression abolished Fas resistance. Notably, the reduced amount of Fas in...
