摘要: Studying apoptosis induced by T cell receptor (TCR) cross-linking in the hybridoma, 3DO, we found both neutral sphingomyelinase activation and production of ceramide upon engagement. Pharmacological inhibition fungal toxin, fumonisin B1, impaired TCR-induced interleukin (IL)-2 programmed death. Addition either exogenous or bacterial reconstituted responses. Moreover, specific inactivation antisense RNA inhibited IL-2 mitogen-activated protein kinase after TCR triggering. These results suggest that is an essential component signaling machinery.
