Decrease of natural killer cell activity and monokine production in peripheral blood of patients treated with recombinant tumor necrosis factor.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a protein predominantly produced by activated macrophages/monocytes, is presently available in recombinant, purified form for clinical trials. Intensive studies in many laboratories have shown that besides the tumorcytotoxic effects, TNF acts on a large array of different cells and has potent immunomodulatory activities. In a clinical phase I study, some immunologic...
متن کاملProduction of tumour necrosis factor during murine cutaneous leishmaniasis.
We have assessed the role of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) during cutaneous leishmaniasis and demonstrated that significant levels of TNF were released by spleen cells from infected mice after in vitro restimulation with Leishmania major promastigotes. Spleen cells from both genetically resistant and genetically susceptible mice were equally capable of producing TNF. After challenge with b...
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 کاملTreatment of hidradenitis suppurativa with tumour necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors.
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a common inflammatory skin disease. Medical treatment is often disappointing and in severe disease surgery remains the therapy of choice. Extensive surgery may be effective but also mutilating. Patients experience a significant reduction in quality of life and the need for new treatment modalities are urgent. In recent years patients with HS have been treated of...
متن کاملPentoxifylline and tumour necrosis factor-induced
Acute Gram-negative bacterial infections evoke characteristic pathophysiological responses, including changes in white blood cell counts, fever, haemodynamic disorders, and various coagulatory disturbances, which may result in respiratory distress syndrome, multiorgan failure and irreversible shock. It is generally accepted that endotoxins, the lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Gramnegative bacteria...
