Brain Protection from Stroke with Intravenous TNFα Decoy Receptor-Trojan Horse Fusion Protein [PDF]
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- α is produced in brain in response to acute cerebral ischemia, and promotes neuronal apoptosis. Biologic TNF inhibitors (TNFIs), such as the etanercept, cannot be developed as new stroke treatments because these large molecule drugs do not cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB).

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may experience complications directly from the disease process or from immune-modulating agents used to treat RA. Adalimumab is a recombinant human monoclonal antibody directed against tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) which has been increasingly used in the management of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases ...

Correlation of Lipopolysaccharide Endotoxin Level in Cotton Dust with the Increase of TNFα Level and the Decline of Lung Function in Cotton Spinning Factory Workers [PDF]
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin contained in cotton dust may cause airway inflammation and decline of lung function when inhaled, which eventually leads to respiratory symptoms.

Atherosusceptible Shear Stress Activates Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress to Promote Endothelial Inflammation. [PDF]
Atherosclerosis impacts arteries where disturbed blood flow renders the endothelium susceptible to inflammation. Cytokine activation of endothelial cells (EC) upregulates VCAM-1 receptors that target monocyte recruitment to atherosusceptible regions ...

Crystal structure of TNFα complexed with a poxvirus MHC-related TNF binding protein [PDF]
The poxvirus 2L protein binds tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) to inhibit host antiviral and immune responses. The 2.8-A 2L-TNFalpha structure reveals three symmetrically arranged 2L molecules per TNFalpha trimer. 2L resembles class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules but lacks a peptide-binding groove and beta2-microglobulin light

Genetic predisposition of TNFα gene polymorphism in South-Indian Migraineurs and meta-analysis
Migraine (Mg) is a multifaceted neurovascular disorder caused by genetic and several environmental etiologies. We have implemented a case-control study of TNFα gene polymorphism in 212 Mg patients and 218 healthy controls utilizing the ARMS-PCR technique,
