[Toxic properties of recombinant tumor necrosis factor]
Abstract:
Toxic properties of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (TNF-beta) were studied on noninbred albino mice. In the maximum tolerable doses the preparation induced a decrease in the body weight and temperature of the animals as well as development of glyco- and leukopenic reactions and damage of the internal organ structures. The preparation effects were observed early after the exposure and were mainly reversible. The most TNF-beta sensitive organs were the liver, lungs, adrenal gland, thymus and spleen. The major link in the pathological process development under the effect of the TNF-beta toxic doses was likely increased intravascular blood coagulability evident from a marked procoagulant activity of the preparation.

Enzyme-linked Receptors
Neurotrophin (NT) receptors are a family of RTKs, including trkA, trkB, and trkC (tropomyosin-related kinase) receptors. TrkA is specific for nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-6, and neurotrophin-7. TrkB binds...
Toxic Reactions: Overview
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
