title: [The activation of phagocytosis by recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-beta].
abstract: The functional activity of phagocytic cells of various types was studied in white non-inbred mice by administering recombinant human tumor necrosis beta (rhTNF-beta). It was shown that rhTNF-beta increased phagocytic activity of the peritoneal exudate, spleen and liver macrophages as well as blood polynuclears. Stimulation of neutrophils was demonstrated in earlier times after administration of the preparation as compared to macrophages (3 h and 24 h, respectively). The duration of the macrophage activation effect and its expression depended on the dose of the preparation and were the most notable when rhTNF-beta was administered in doses of 10(3)-10(5) U/20 g. The addition of reopolyglucin, the polysaccharide filler, didn't remove a stimulatory effect of rhTNF-beta on macrophages, but influenced its dynamics. Multiple administration of the preparation didn't cause the phagocytosis stimulation effect.
