Aim: To express recombinant human FasL molecule in E.coli.
Methods: RT-PCR was applied to amplify FasL cDNA from the total RNA extracted from activated human peripheral blood lymphocytes. The DNA fragment was cloned into PCR2.1 vector. After sequencing, the FasL gene was inserted into pQE-31 vector and expressed in E.coli M15. The FasL protein was purified through Ni-ATA affinity chromatography column and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The mice were immunized with the FasL protein and the specific anti-serum was harvested 6 weeks after immunization. The serum level of FasL from with different kinds of diseases patients were detected using the anti-FasL antibodies from the immunized mice.
Results: The expressed protein could be recognized by anti-human FasL antibody in Western-blot analysis with M(r)40 000. This protein could induce Jurket cells apoptosis. anti-FasL serum prepared from mouse could detect the serum FasL as sensitive as commercial ELISA kits.
Conclusion: The human FasL protein is obtained. It lays the foundation for the further detecting the concentration of FasL and sFasL of patients.

Cervical cancer is a global health problem; therapies focused on eliminating tumour cells and strengthening different immunotherapies are in development. However, it has been observed that cervical tumour cells can evade cell death mechanisms and generate immune system molecules to promote their proliferation and metastasis. In this context, we analysed the role of the IL-2 and CD95 pathways, essential molecules in activating the immune system and eliminating tumour cells.

Article Synopsis
- Ovulation, fertilization, and embryo development are critical processes whose success is compromised by post-ovulatory aging, leading to reduced oocyte quality and fertilization ability.
- The study focused on common carp and found that oocyte aging significantly triggers apoptosis, particularly noticeable after 48 hours post-stripping, with increased levels of pro-apoptotic genes and active caspase 3 enzyme.
- Although early blastula embryos (5 HPF) from both fresh and aged oocytes showed no signs of apoptosis, the embryos from aged oocytes at 24 HPF displayed heightened apoptosis, indicating a time-dependent effect of oocyte aging on embryonic development.

Introduction: Parkin-mediated mitophagy is essential for clearing damaged mitochondria, and it inhibits tumour development. The role of mitophagy in modulating tumour immunity is becoming clearer, but the underlying mechanism is still poorly understood.
Objective: This study was designed to examine the role of Parkin in the immune microenvironment of liver tumours induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl).
