Interleukin-8 and tumor necrosis factor alpha production in human epidermal keratinocytes induced by Trichophyton mentagrophytes.
Production of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) was confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in a medium where human epidermal keratinocytes were cocultured with Trichophyton mentagrophytes for 1 to 12 h. IL-8 and TNF-alpha mRNAs were also detected in the keratinocytes cocultured with T. mentagrophytes.
