TNF inhibitors are produced spontaneously by rheumatoid and osteoarthritic synovial joint cell cultures: evidence of feedback control of TNF action.
We have proposed the hypothesis that tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) has a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis, based on in vitro observations that in RA synovial joint cell cultures removal of TNF-alpha, inhibited other potentially pathogenic cytokines such as the equa...
