Does trauma cause sustained elevation of soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors?
We conclude that sTNF-R levels are significantly elevated after trauma, in the absence of measurable TNF. Levels are elevated for variable periods of time, which seem to depend on the severity of injury and complications.
The parasite-derived secretion product Av-cystatin inhibits proinflammatory mechanisms of LPS-induced microglia with IL-10, a potential key mediator.
