title: Poxvirus preparation CONPIND initiates production of the major inflammatory mediators IL-1 alpha and TNF-alpha in human whole blood and in blood mononuclear cell cultures.
abstract: The poxvirus preparation CONPIND initiated the production of the two major inflammatory mediators interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in whole blood and in blood mononuclear cell cultures of man at 37 degrees C within 12-48 h. The release of the cytokines followed a dose-efficacy curve. High levels of IL1-alpha (up to 810 pg/ml) and TNF-alpha (up to 533 pg/ml) were determined by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
