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

Mammalian liver exhibits expression of members of the family of multidrug resistance (mdr) transporters (P-glycoproteins). P-glycoprotein isoforms encoded by mdr1 genes participate in extrusion of an array of xenobiotics into the bile. Induction of mdr1b mRNA expression has been shown to occur in ra
## Abstract __Nocardia__ lysozyme digest (NLD) and __Nocardia__ waterβsoluble mitogen (NWSM) are two fractions derived from __Nocardia opaca.__ In this report, we demonstrated that both fractions elicited significant secretion of tumor necrosis factorβΞ± (TNFβΞ±) in human monocytes.

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
