ABSTRACT:
The present invention generally provides modified polypeptides which are capable of interacting with the Fas receptor, nucleic acids encoding such polypeptides, cell lines capable of expressing these nucleic acids and secreting the polypeptides, and antibodies that are specifically immunoreactive with these polypeptides. The compositions of the present invention are generally useful for elucidating and modeling aspects of Fas biochemistry in vitro and manipulating Fas biology in vivo.
