a term pertaining to one of several mechanisms causing cell death by apoptosis in nearby cells by a paracrine mechanism and involving a death receptor and its cognate ligand. It is observed, for example between T-cells expressing and secreting FAS antigen and target cells expressing the FAS ligand, the binding of which to its receptor triggers cell death. For other mechanisms see also: autocrine suicide, fratricide.
