Fas Ligand and Ocular Immune Privilege It has been proposed that the constitutive expression of Fas Ligand (FasL) in the eye maintains immune privilege, in part, through the induction of apoptosis in infiltrating Fas+ T cells. However, the role of FasL in immune privilege remains controversial due to studies that indicate FasL exists in either a membrane-bound form that is proinflammatory, or a soluble form that is anti-inflammatory.
