Prolactin (PRL) is a potent mitogen in cultured astrocytes. Because one of the major effects of astrocyte proliferation is the expression of inflammatory cytokines, we examined the effect of PRL-induced mitogenesis on the expression of interleukin-1 (IL-I a), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), and tra

We previously identified a specific receptor for alphafetoprotein (AFP) on human monocytes. Although AFP alters many immune cell functions, the effect of AFP on monocyte cytokine production is unknown. Because tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) and interleukin-lj3 (IL-lp) are important cytokines in
## Abstract It has been reported that expression of tumor necrosis factor superfamily members occur at the onset of the mammary gland postβlactational involution. One of these proteins, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFΞ±), is a major mediator of inflammation that is able to induce expression of seve
