Differential expression of CD40 and CD95 in ovarian carcinoma.
Eur J Gynaecol Oncol. 2004; (1): 27-32
The role of CD95 (Fas) as a mediator of apoptosis has been well documented. CD40 ligation has been recently shown to initiate apoptosis and modulate CD95 mediated apoptosis in normal and some neoplastic tissues. Here we report the expression of CD95 and CD40 in cryopreserved cell suspensions from ovarian cancer associated ascites, fresh primary and recurrent ovarian carcinoma (OVCA) specimens, and ten established ovarian cancer cell lines. The effect of CD95 and CD40 receptor binding on apoptosis is described in two cell lines.
