Abstract
The resistance in mice against Listeria infection was augmented by treatment with recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (TNF). To elucidate this phenomenon, we examined the effect of TNF on macrophage activation. TNF-treated macrophages had listericidal activity in vitro and superoxide anion production. In addition, macrophage migration was inhibited in the presence of TNF. Therefore, activation of macrophages by TNF was similar to activation by macrophage-activating factor or macrophage-migration-inhibitory factor.Entities:
