Expression of CD95 on peripheral blood lymphocytes in patients with autoimmune diseases and neoplasms.
CD95 expression on peripheral blood lymphocytes in patients with neoplasms was higher than in patients with autoimmune disorders. Apoptosis of T cells increased during tumor growth. The data suggest that neoplasms are accompanied by more severe immune dysfunction than autoimmune disorders.
