1 1996407 Furthermore, the Mo IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha secretions of IDDM patients were significantly higher than the Mo secretions of TNF-beta genotype-matched healthy controls.
2 1279667 The expression of TNF-beta in the pancreas of transgenic mice resulted in a leukocytic inflammatory infiltrate consisting primarily of B220+ IgM+ B cells and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
3 7682590 The expression of the TNF-alpha transgene was restricted to the pancreas, in contrast to TNF-beta expression from the same promoter, in which the transgene was expressed in the pancreas, kidney, and skin.
4 7682590 Both TNF-alpha and TNF-beta transgenic mice show elevated expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 in islet endothelia and increased expression of MHC class I on islet cells.
5 9174153 Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and Graves' disease (GD) are autoimmune endocrinopathies and associated with distinct HLA-DR and -DQ alleles as well as several tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and beta (TNF-beta) alleles.
6 9174153 TNF-alpha and TNF-beta interact with TNF receptor (TNF-R), of which two subtypes have been described: TNF-R1 and TNF-R2.
7 16468038 It has been suggested that the gene encoding lymphotoxin-alpha (LTA) is associated with insulin resistance, and genetic association studies in the LTA region offer some support for this.
8 16468038 However, LTA is in linkage disequilibrium with both the HLA gene cluster and the gene encoding TNF-alpha, making inferences about causality difficult.
9 19680232 Herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily (TNFRSF14), which serves as a receptor for herpes viruses and cytokines such as lymphotoxin-alpha (LT-alpha) and LIGHT (lymphotoxin-like inducible protein that competes with glycoprotein D for herpes virus entry on T cells).
