Hypotheses on this target 1

Fas ligandLower level. Hypotheses on this target 0Synthesis suppression. Hypotheses on this target 0Neutralisation. Hypotheses on this target 11Supplementation. Hypotheses on this target 0Accelerated excretion. Hypotheses on this target 0
  • Lower level
  • Synthesis suppression
  • Neutralisation1
  • Supplementation
  • Accelerated excretion

Neutralisation1

  • The blood vessel lining kills protective immune cells as they enter tissue

    Where this hypothesis actsAt the endothelial interface of the implicated tissue, where arriving protective effector cells undergo apoptosis

    What is proposedInterrupt endothelial Fas ligand activity

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowEndothelial-restricted FasL interruption; the specific intervention is not stated in the record

    Possible resultPossible restoration of viable effector cell entry and local pathogen control using existing circulating specificities
