Background: |
TNF-alpha, a versatile pro-inflammatory cytokine, is secreted by diverse cell types such as adipocytes, activated monocytes, macrophages, B cells, T cells, and fibroblasts. It falls under the TNF family of ligands and operates via two receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2. This cytokine exhibits cytotoxic effects on numerous tumor cells and is crucial in orchestrating the immune response against bacterial infections. Additionally, TNF-alpha contributes to the development of septic shock, autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation, and diabetes. |
