Bioactivities of a tumour necrosis-like factor released by chicken macrophages.
To test for tumour necrosis-like factor (TNF) of chickens, supernatants of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated chicken macrophage cell line MQ-NCSU were analysed. A sequence of ion-exchange and gel-permeation chromatography was utilised to isolate TNF-like activity from the culture supernatant. The peak of TNF-like cytotoxic activity corresponded to the fractions with a molecular weight of 81...
متن کاملSignal transduction by tumour necrosis factor and tumour necrosis factor related ligands and their receptors.
Many biological functions are regulated through interactions of extracellular molecules with their cognate cell surface receptors. The transduction of these signals by their receptors at the plasma membrane to the intracellular machinery results in such cellular activities as gene activation, protein phosphorylation, cell proliferation, and cell destruction. Though the kinetics of these activit...
متن کاملEvidence for a Cytolytic Factor Released by Macrophages
Mouse peritoneal macrophages cultivated in vitro acquire a strong extracellular cytotoxic activity towards isotope labeled syngeneic erythrocytes as demonstrated by isotope release to the medium. This lytic process is mediated by an extremely labile macrophage cytolytic factor (MCF) which is not detected under ordinary tissue culture conditions with serum present in the medium. By the use of se...
متن کاملA pre-formed Pyrogenic Factor Released by Lipopolysaccharide Stimulated Macrophages
The aim of this study was to investigate the pyrogenic activity of factor(s) released by rat peritoneal macrophages following a brief stimulation with LPS. The effect of this factor on the number of circulating leukocytes and serum Fe, Cu and Zn levels, was also evaluated. The possibility that the content of interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF) in the supernatant could ...
متن کاملDexamethasone modulation of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (cachectin) release by activated normal human alveolar macrophages.
Recurrent infections of the lower respiratory tract are a frequent and serious side-effect of chronic corticosteroid treatment. Since alveolar macrophages (AM) are currently thought to play a central role in the protection of the lower respiratory tract against infectious agents, it is likely that a steroid-induced deficiency of AM is involved in this process. In this respect, when activated, A...
