The involvement of TNF-alpha in the release of soluble TNF receptors w
as assessed in mice, treated with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies. Afte
r treatment with three different anti-CD3 mAb, we simultaneously studi
ed serum levels of TNF-alpha soluble TNF receptor P55 and P75, All thr
ee anti-CD3 mAb triggered the release of both of the soluble TNF recep
tors, whereas only one of the anti-CD3 mAb triggered TNF-alpha release
. These data demonstrate that in our model soluble TNF receptor releas
e is independent of TNF-alpha release.
