The primary inflammatory cytokines: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a proinflammatory cytokine which is produced by macrophages, T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, fibroblasts, neutrophils, keratinocytes and tumor cells [13]. It is produced during early inflammatory response. It mediates the production of other cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules [14]. It also increases vascular permeability, which leads to migration of activated immune cells to the site of infection [15,16]. TNF…

A century ago, the humankind had no idea about tumor necrosis factor (TNF); however, physician William B Cooley was able to demonstrate the principle of anti-tumoral response in vivo as early as in 1891 (1,2). He escalated the idea of anti-tumoral response based on his observation of remission of lesions in patients injected with a mixture of dead Streptococcus pyogenes and Serratia marcescens bacteria (1, 2). Due to the lack of understanding of mechanism behind this observation, it was not…

Infectious organisms are beginning to become a main contributor for the inflammation. This in turn begins to target the synovial joints where the pathogenic T cells, Th1 and Th17, both have a significant part. TNFa, tumor necrosis factor, contributes to the inflammatory process because it contains an array of “proinflammatory” effects. Proinflammatory stimulates the process inflammation effects. A TNF inhibitor, found in immunotherapeutic medicine, is needed to suppress and…

Valeria Lukyanova could pass for a living Barbie doll; however, when you think about Barbie, Ken follows closely behind. Barbie and Ken may be the very first love story (between dolls, that is). Although there are several men who have gone under the knife to resemble this iconic doll, the most recognized human Ken doll is probably Justin Jedlica. THE NICKNAME ‘HUMAN KEN DOLL’ – COMPLIMENTS OF 20/20 During an interview for OWN’s series, Where Are They Now? Jedlica opens up about how he came to…

trial with 180 participants suffering from rheumatoid arthritis did not reveal anything unsafe about recombinant TNF (Moreland, 1997). Three studies conducted in 2001 showed a remarkable safety profile for a different variation of recombinant human necrosis factor (binding protein-1). Intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous injections were given to healthy volunteers. The safety profile was based on vital signs, hematology and blood chemistry, and antibodies to study drug and local…
