Abstract excerpt
The response of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-sensitive murine L929 cells to TNF was enhanced approximately 1000-fold after step-down heating (SDH) for 30 min at a sensitizing temperature (ST) of 43 degrees C and a subsequent 24 h incubation at a test temperature (TT) of 40.5 degrees C, compared t...
