متن کاملEvaluation of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Polymorphism Frequencies in Endometriosis
Background The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), is a pathogenic element for a number of disorders. Previous studies have reported that the -1031 T/C and -238 G/A polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene are important factors in reproductive-related disorders. One of the most common gynecological diseases of women during the reproductive years is endo...
متن کاملTUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR ALPHA (TNF-a)
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF, TNFSF2) is an important multifunctional cytokine that regulates inflammation, host defense, immune responses, and apoptosis. TNF exists as a membrane-bound 26kDa, type II integral membrane protein, and a 17kDa soluble homotrimeric TNF that is generated via proteolytic cleavage by TNF-a converting enzyme (TACE, ADAM17). Both the membrane-bound and soluble forms ...
متن کاملCEREBROSPINAL FLUID FINDINGS IN NEONATAL BACTERIAL MENINGITIS
Background : Meningitis is more common during the neonatal period than other periods of life and has a prevalence of one in 1000 live births. The similarity of its clinical manifestations with other infectious diseases makes it difficult to diagnose. The aim of the current study was to determine the relationship between age, sex, clinical signs and symptoms and laboratory test results of ne...
متن کاملDetermination of shelf life and activation energy for tumor necrosis factor-alpha in cerebrospinal fluid samples.
The cytokine rumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) plays a prominent role in the inflammatory response and has been quantified in several kinds of body fluids. A safe method for keeping samples under the best storage conditions for later studies is clearly needed. We estimated TNF-alpha shelf life by using an accelerated stability testing protocol based on the Arrhenius equation. We investiga...
