OBJECTIVE: To explore an approach to the reduction of activation induced apoptosis of T cell so as to maximize the number of CTL and enhance the tumor cytotoxicity. METHODS: CD3-induced Jurkat cell line was used as the activated T cell apoptosis model,and the antisense Fas cDNA was introduced into Jurkat cells with retroviral vector. RESULTS:The expression level of Fas protein in Jurkat cells transducted with the retroviral vector was decreased. Apoptosis was reduced in antisense Fas-transfected Jurkat cells after anti-CD3 or anti-Fas treatment. CONCLUSION: Antisense blocking of Fas expression can partially inhibit Jurkat cell apoptosis induced by anti-CD3 or anti Fas.
