In rheumatoid arthritis there is a chronic immune and inflammatory reaction which can lead
to the destruction of the diseased joint. Cytokine gene expression was studied in synovial …

Among the unexplained changes caused by malaria in several host species, including man
and mouse, are erythrophagocytosis and dyserythropoiesis. In order to see whether tumour …

We have investigated the modulating effect of steroids on the in vitro production of tumour
necrosis factor (TNF) by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human monocytes …

The oncolytic strain 73-T of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) has been reported to be
beneficial in the treatment of cancer patients, but little is known about its mechanism of …

Abstract Treatment with recombinant interleukin 2 and lymphokine-activated killer cells (rIL-
2/LAK) has produced a clinical antitumor effect in preliminary human trials. The cytokines γ …

Recombinant murine (rm) TNF-alpha but not recombinant human (rh) TNF-alpha induces
the proliferation of murine thymocytes in the presence of a comitogenic stimulus. This effect …

Malignant progressor tumors are only weakly immunogenic and can evade host recognition
and rejection. One approach to therapy involves activation of the host antitumor cellular …

Secretory component (SC) acts as receptor for polymeric IgA (pIgA) and pIgM on the
basolateral face of secretory epithelia. This study showed that both the production and …

The cause of fetal loss in malaria is not known. We report that a small (1.5-5.0 micrograms)
intravenous dose of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (TNF) caused fetal death and …

The species preference of human and murine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was
evaluated in human and murine systems for cytotoxic/cytostatic effects and receptor binding …
