Abstract excerpt
The tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha, or TNF) genes of NOD mice and NZW mice are reportedly underexpressed relative to the TNF genes of control mice in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced peritoneal macrophages. These findings, as well as the well-known major histocompatibility complex (MHC) l...
