商品簡介
Because tumor necrosis factor-alpha plays a pivotal role in the regulation of homeostasis and inflammatory immune responses, it offers researchers opportunities to develop new drugs for the treatment of disorders including cancer, septic shock, and rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. Contributors survey the basic and transactional research being conducted in this field and describe the methods they've developed for TNF production, characterization, mutagenesis, and detection in biological specimens. The intended audience is biochemists, molecular and cellular biologists, pharmacologists, and toxicologists in academia and industry studying TNF pathophysiology or working on drug discovery.
