The effect of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) muteins on human neutrophils in vitro
Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has been implicated as an important inflammatory mediator. In vitro, TNF-alpha is reported to activate human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN), inducing responses such as phagocytic activity, degranulation and oxidative metabolism. Biological responses to TNF-alpha are initiated by its binding to specific cell surface receptors, and various studies hav...
متن کاملCharacterisation of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-(alpha) response elements in the human ICAM-2 promoter.
ICAM-2 is a cell surface adhesion molecule constitutively expressed on the endothelium, involved in leukocyte recruitment into tissues. We recently showed that pro-inflammatory cytokines tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-(alpha) and interleukin (IL)-1(beta) down-regulate ICAM-2 expression at the transcriptional level. Here we investigate the elements in the ICAM-2 promoter required for the TNF-(alph...
متن کاملTumour necrosis factor-α in nasal allergy
Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) by radio-immunoassay to evaluate TNF-alpha in nasal allergy. There was no significant difference either between the mean concentrations of TNF-alpha in nasal secretions from the patients with perennial nasal allergy and those of normal subjects, or between the TNF-alp...
متن کاملDevelopment of ELISA Systems for Measurement of Human Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-α)
The aim of this study was to develop a human tumor necrosis factor alpha (hTNF-α) ELISA system because specific and sensitive measurement of low levels of circulating TNF-α is very important for enlightening the immunopathologial mechanisms associated with TNF-α. Monoclonal antibodies 6A4c and 8A6 were produced against hTNF-α and were used as the capture antibody and the tracer antibody respect...
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 ...
