Recombinant tumor necrosis factor causes activation of human granulocytes.
We have tested the hypothesis that tumor necrosis factor (TNF), by binding to and activating granulocytes, may contribute to the pathogenesis of gram-negative sepsis and the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Buffy coat granulocytes incubated with as little as 0.5 ng/mL of recombinant TNF (rTNF) showed a dose-related increase in nitroblue tetrazolium dye reduction, in granulocyte polar...
متن کاملCachectic effects of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor in rats.
Treatment of rats with either intermittent bolus i.v. injections or continuous i.v. infusions of the same sublethal daily dose of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) results in decreased food intake and decreased nitrogen balance compared to saline-treated control rats. After 4 days of treatment, rats treated with intermittent bolus doses of TNF develop tolerance to the nutritional effects and consume ...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory properties of recombinant murine and human tumor necrosis factor.
Tumor necrosis factor has traditionally been thought to have direct cytostatic and cytotoxic properties with little or no direct immunomodulatory activity. We report here that tumor necrosis factor is able to activate macrophages both in vitro and in vivo and can increase a mixed lymphocyte response and act as an adjuvant for both T- and B-cells in vivo. Adjuvant activity in T-cells occurred in...
متن کاملInduction of synthesis of tumor necrosis factor in human and murine cell lines by exogenous recombinant human tumor necrosis factor.
Treatment of sensitive human myosarcoma cells (KYM-S) with exogenous tumor necrosis factor (r-TNF) resulted in the production of TNF by the cells. The newly synthesized cellular TNF was identified immunologically on Western blots and as a single 1.8-kilobase band on Northern blots. TNF synthesis began within 2 h of administration of the exogenous TNF in a dose-dependent manner. r-TNF also induc...
متن کاملEffect of recombinant tumor necrosis factor on tumoricidal activation of murine macrophages: synergism between tumor necrosis factor and gamma-interferon.
The activation of tumoricidal murine macrophages by recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (rH-TNF) alone or in combination with recombinant murine gamma-interferon (rM-IFN-gamma) was examined. When used alone, rH-TNF (10(-1)-10(5) units/ml) did not induce macrophage tumoricidal activity against TNF-insensitive P815 mastocytoma cells. Combining rH-TNF with rM-IFN-gamma resulted in the synergis...
