Fas/CD95 prevents autoimmunity independently of lipid raft localization and efficient apoptosis induction

Fas drives apoptosis and mutations in this receptor can cause autoimmunity through failure of cell death. Here, the authors uselpr/lprmice with palmitoylation-defective mutant Fas to provide evidence that Fas might limit spontaneous autoimmunity through a non-apoptotic mechanism.
