CD95 is a member of a family of cell surface receptors that includes tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF-R), nerve growth factor receptor (NGF-R), CD40, CD27, CD30, and 4-1BB. Both murine and human Fas genes have been cloned and reportedly share 60% similarity in their amino acid sequences. CD95 (Fas) is a cell surface apoptosis-signaling molecule that is widely expressed in sites such as thymus, liver, heart, and ovary. Abnormalities in the Fas gene correlate with autoimmune features in mice and with unusually high levels of lymphocyte apoptosis in HIV-infected humans. Genetic studies have localized the Fas gene near the lpr (lymphoproliferation disease) locus on mouse chromosome 19 and further characterization reportedly has revealed that lpr is a mutation affecting the function of the Fas gene.

1.Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2.Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing. .
