Abstract excerpt
The potential role of tumour necrosis factors (TNFs) in autoimmunity and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) led us to determine in vitro TNF-alpha and lymphotoxin-alpha (LT-alpha, TNF-beta) production in IDDM patients according to TNF polymorphism. LT-alpha production of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was lower in diabetic subjects (m = 0.30 +/- 0.2 ng.10(-6) cells) than controls (m = 0.68 +/-...
