Tumor necrosis factor alpha in mycobacterial infection
Seminars in Immunology, 2014Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a critical immune mediator in protection against and pathology of tuberculosis (TB). TNF-α had been found to be associated with TB when it was originally identified as cachexin and until today TB research continues to unveil novel roles of this cytokine of highest relevance for the disease process and for novel ...

Role of tumor necrosis factor alpha in asthma
Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2004Asthma is a heterogeneous disease in which various cytokines orchestrate airway inflammation. Tumor necrosis alpha (TNF-alpha) is a proinflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the modulation of inflammation in various diseases, including asthma. Although TNF-alpha blocking strategies have been an effective therapeutic modality in diseases such

[Tumor necrosis factor alpha].
Schweizerische Rundschau fur Medizin Praxis = Revue suisse de medecine Praxis, 1992TNF-alpha (Cachectin) is a cytokine (tissue hormone) synthesized and secreted as a trimeric polypeptide; major producers are the cells of the RES after stimulation, e.g. by endotoxin. Its synthesis is strictly regulated. TNF elicits a great number of cell-specific responses. IL-1 and probably additional mediators cooperate in these effects.

Production of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha and Hemodialysis
Nephron, 2008The production of TNFα by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was determined in 18 hemodialysis (HD) patients. Blood was taken from each patient before and after an HD treatment. Both pre- and post-HD PBMC produced significantly more TNFα than controls (TNFα units/ml; mean ± SEM; controls 3.1 ± 0.7; pre-HD 9.7 ± 3.9; post-HD 19.8 ± 7.7, p < 0 ...

Serum Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha in Neonatal Sepsis
American Journal of Perinatology, 1997Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is thought to be an important mediator in the pathogenesis of neonatal septicemia. To assess the role of TNF-alpha in neonatal sepsis, serum levels of TNF-alpha were measured in a group of neonates with septicemia and compared with the levels of gestational-postnatal, age-matched healthy controls.

Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Antagonist-Induced Sarcoidosis
JCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 2010Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is an important player in granuloma formation, and recent clinical trials have investigated the efficacy of TNF-alpha inhibitors in sarcoidosis. Paradoxically, there are several case reports in the medical literature describing the development of ...

Bioassay for Tumor Necrosis Factors-alpha and -beta
Molecular Biotechnology, 2000Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a central cytokine in the pathogenesis of septic shock and other inflammatory states. Assay by immunoassay is convenient, but, because of circulating soluble receptors, does not accurately reflect biological activity of the cytokine.

Immunology Letters, 1994
Eight murine anti-TNF alpha monoclonal antibodies (mAb) were produced after immunization of BALB/c mice with rhTNF alpha. Six of these mAbs were able to neutralize cytotoxic activity of TNF alpha against L929 cells. Two other mAbs had no neutralizing effect. Epitope mapping studies were performed by ELISA and by using a BIAcore system (Pharmacia).
