Carriage of the TNF -308 A allele (rs1800629 A) has been associated with increased serum TNF-alpha levels, the development of sepsis syndrome, and fatal outcome, in severely traumatized patients (Menges et al., 2008 [1]). Herein, we analysed the putative allelic imbalance of TNF-alpha release from myeloid cells. Circulating peripheral blood cells from healthy human blood donors (n=104) and monocyte-derived...
