There exists only one tumor necrosis factor
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is an important proinflammatory and immunoregulatory cytokine with several unique protective and homeostatic functions. Since TNF is a mediator of several pathologies and is a part of “cytokine storm”, its significance for clinical immunology is due to the fact that this...
