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 Growth hormone (GH), given therapeutically in many human diseases, is able to modulate the maturation and function of many cells of immune system. The present study demonstrates the effect of human recombinant GH on the production of acute phase proteins (APP) as well as on the gene exp
