Tumor necrosis factor is critical to control tuberculosis infection
2007
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is critical and non-redundant to control Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and cannot be replaced by other proinflammatory cytokines. Overproduction of TNF may cause immunopathology, while TNF neutralization reactivates latent and chronic, controlled infection, which is relevant for the use of neutralizing TNF therapies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
