Background: |
TNF-alpha, a cytokine generated by monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, NK cells, CD4+ T cells, and numerous transformed cells, manifests as a 17 kDa unbound entity or a 26 kDa membrane protein. It readily assembles into stable trimers and various other multimeric structures. Within the immune system, TNF-alpha serves as a crucial regulator, exhibiting cytolytic and cytostatic effects against various tumor cells, promoting fibroblast proliferation, and aiding in neutrophil chemotaxis and phagocytosis. |
