title: Effect of hrTNF alpha on TxB2 release by macrophages.
abstract: Peritoneal rat macrophages incubated with human recombinant tumour necrosis factor (hrTNF alpha) released 2-3 times more thromboxane (TxB2) than untreated macrophage controls, a result similar to that obtained by incubating them with endotoxin (ET) or calcium ionophore A23187.
