Tumour necrosis factor enhances the asbestos-induced production of reactive oxygen metabolites by human polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN).

We studied the effect of recombinant tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) on the production of reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) by human PMN exposed in vitro to chrysotile and crocidolite asbestos fibres, quartz dusts and opsonized zymosan. TNF caused a significant increase in ROM release by PM...
