Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha) strongly potentiates interleukin-3 (IL-3)-induced short-term proliferation of human CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC). Using longer term cultures of CD34+ HPC, we demonstrate here that this initial potentiation ceases after 10 to 12 days; whereupon TNF alpha displays inhibitory effects. Thus, TNF alpha was found to inhibit cells of...
