The 30-kDa secreted antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was a strong inducer of tumor necrosis factor alpha in human monocytes. Our findings suggest that tumor necrosis factor alpha production may be up-regulated at both the posttranscriptional and transcriptional levels. Regulation at the posttranscriptional level probably reflects enhanced translational efficiency.
结核分枝杆菌30 kDa分泌抗原是人类单核细胞中肿瘤坏死因子α的强诱导剂。我们的研究结果表明,肿瘤坏死因子α的产生可能在转录后和转录水平均上调。转录后水平的调控可能反映了翻译效率的提高。
