Here are some of my notes..(disclaimer...do you own DD, as my notes may not be 100% accurate as they may have been taken 1/2 awake due to early mornings/late nights, skiing in the afternoons, with the poster sessions in the evening : )

about one of their posters @ Keystone, Effcient Killing of Primary Human T Lymphocytes engineered with a humanized FAS Receptor-Based suicide switch...it was by Daniel Thomis et al. and Clackson was last author...It involved transducing donor T cells ex vivo with a retroviral vector containing Fas to treat GvHD. The system involved AP1903/Fas. They had very specific induced expression. If GvHD occurs they would give patient the drug and the infused T-cells would then die. About 80% die after the first dose and 40% survive from the remaining 20% after the next does. In patients the dose might be every 2 days via IV drip. This was done in vitro...and they did not have an in vivo model.

Best of Luck,

Where'd He Go?

FWIW...Scott, I took you off I...water under the bridge : )
