Abstract
In available literature, different kinetics for tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) release by peripheral blood mononuclear cells are re ported upon stimulation with Cyptococcus neoformans. Results in this s tudy showed that shaking cells gives faster kinetics of TNF-alpha rele ase while large working volumes give lower TNF-alpha concentrations, D ifferent experimental conditions thus influence kinetics of TNF-alpha release by phagocytes.
