We investigated lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor production in uitro by peripheral blood monocytee from patients with various liver diseases. Tumor necrosis factor production was found to be significantlyreduced in patients with chronic hepatitis B (n = 17; 136 f 30 pg tumor necrosi
## Abstract Tumor necrosis factor Ξ± (TNFβΞ±) has come into recent focus as a proinflammatory cytokine derived from monocytes/macrophages. We developed a novel system (the SEKβ5001 system) for measurement of ex vivo production of TNFβΞ± stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a marker of immune func
Production of the antiviral cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-a is increased in chronic hepatitis B virus infection, and clinical studies of tumor necrosis factor-a have indicated a proviral effect at higher doses. To determine whether this might be related to abnormal cell surface tumor necrosis fact
