title: [The role of tumor necrosis factor-alfa in the interaction between the macro- and microorganism].
abstract: The authors present a review containing their own and literature data on the role of cytokine TNF-alfa in infectious process on the part of the macro- and microorganism, paying special attention to the latter. The paper contains data from literature concerning the mechanism of the interaction between cytokine and eukaryotic cells and experimental data on direct interaction between cytokine and bacterial cells in vitro and in vivo.
