Q

What is the role of IgD?

A

IgD results from alternate splicing of IgM mRNA and may be important in B cell interaction with mast cells and basophils. This stimulates release of B cell homeostatic factors.

IgD armed basophils may play a role in autoimmunity and orchestrating normal immune response.

Q

What is the nature of Fas and Fas ligand and protein?

A

Fas protein (CD95) is a 319 amino acid 48 kD trans membrane protein containing a death domain. It trimerizes when binding to Fas Ligand.

Fas ligand(CD95L) is a homotrimeric type II membrane protein expressed on cytotoxic T lymphocytes that binds to Fas protein. Soluble Fas ligand is generated by MMP-7 cleavage.

FADD has a C terminal death domain DD and an N terminal death effector domain (DED). Singaling is enhanced by activating the porcspase activity via conformational change.
