Four mycobacterial preparations directly stimulated human blood monocytes and alveolar macrophages to produce tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Monoclonal antibody against TNF blocked (99%) TNF activity. Lipopolysaccharide was not responsible for the TNF activity generated; activity was unaffected in the presence of polymyxin B.
四种分枝杆菌制剂可直接刺激人血单核细胞和肺泡巨噬细胞产生肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)。抗TNF单克隆抗体可阻断(99%)TNF活性。脂多糖与所产生的TNF活性无关;在多粘菌素B存在的情况下,活性不受影响。
