ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to BCL-xγ, a novel isoform of the BCL-x family of proteins which is predominantly expressed in T-lymphocytes and is associated with resistance to apoptosis. Both compositions of matter and methods are described which are useful in the treatment or prevention of immune system disorders.
