Abstract excerpt
In a recent study, we found that TNF-alpha negatively regulates airway responsiveness through the activation of gammadelta T cells. The biological activities of TNF-alpha are mediated by two structurally related but functionally distinct receptors, p55 (TNFR1) and p75 (TNFR2), which are independently expressed on the cell surface. However, the relative importance of either TNFR in airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR)...
