Recombinant Human Tumor Necrosis Factor-α: Effects on Proliferation of Normal and Transformed Cells in Vitro
Abstract
Modulation of the growth of human and murine cell lines in vitro by recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-α (rTNF-α) and recombinant human interferon-γ (rIFN-γ) was investigated. rTNF-α had cytostatic or cytolytic effects on only some tumor cell lines. When administered together with rIFN-γ, rTNF-α showed enhanced antiproliferative effects on a subset of the cell lines tested. In contrast to its effects on sensitive tumor cells, rTNF-α augmented the growth of normal diploid fibroblasts. Variations in the proliferative response induced by rTNF-α were apparently not due to differences in either the number of binding sites per cell or their affinity for rTNF-α. These observations indicate that the effects of rTNF-α on cell growth are not limited to tumor cells, but rather that this protein may have a broad spectrum of activities in vivo.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
