Deviations in Circulating TNFα Levels and TNFα Production by Mononuclear Cells in Healthy Human Populations
Objectives. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) plays a pivotal role in the inflammatory host response. The serum-level of TNFα and the production of TNFα by lympho/monocytes, however, seem to show high individual variations. The goal of the present study was to investigate the variations and inducib...
